Make all Government properties and events globally alcohol free.

What the petition asks

Given the new advice on alcohol, that there is no safe limit, all Government buildings and events should be alcohol free, alternatively any alcohol subsidy should be removed & the new limits, including recommendations on days of abstention and a daily limit of 3 drinks be strictly enforced
The Government has a duty of care to those working on & visiting Government estates & events. As such the Chief Medical Officers advice on drinking limits should be rigorously adhered to & enforced at all times. To not take such action would show a reckless disregard for the health of those in Government employ or attending Government events, & would undermine both the authority of the chief medical officer & the work being done to tackle the problems caused by alcohol consumption.
