Abstract: |
New Year’s Eve drinkers are being warned off cheap and dangerous fake alcohol that can cause permanent blindness and even death. The Local Government Association (LGA) warning follows councils seizing counterfeit vodka from retailers, home-based sellers and pubs. Drinkers have been told that fake vodka will usually smell of nail varnish. Councils will prosecute sellers of illegal alcohol and revoke licenses where necessary after a number of raids on rogue premises in the run-up to the New Year. |
