Alcohol bottles will carry health warnings from April 1

From the first of April, all liquor bottles will have a statutory health warning on their labels. The warning will ask consumers not to drink and drive. For alcoholic beverage bottles up to 200 ml, the letters on the label should not be less than 1.5 mm high; bottles larger than 200 ml will have letters 3mm tall. The new regulation will hold for distilled alcoholic beverages, wines and beer. The label will also have a declaration about alcohol content and allergen warning among other requirements.
