Well, we know that this is a problem with binge drinking and Friday / Saturday nights.

So what do you think about the following ideas:

1) Alcohol can only be served in single units. This means that you can only have a single glass of alcohol at a time. For spirits, this is pretty easy - one shot of 25ml for a 40% alcohol.

For bottles, again easy, manufacturers can only sell bottles that contain one unit.

Wines - whilst I realise that alcohol volumes can vary, this means that wine can only be served as a 125ml glass maximum.

Beers - this would be slightly more complex, but the 'normal strength' larger (up to say 5%) can only be served in half pints and higher strength ones would have to be in 1/3 pint glasses.

I believe that this would have two effects - one is that people know and understand exactly how many units they are consuming - no guess work involved. Secondly, I think that this will lower the amount people drank - one because of the extra hassle, and second because people will be more aware.
