Government is committed to working with industry to address concerns over irresponsible alcohol promotions, advertising and marketing, particularly to ensure vulnerable people are protected. Current industry codes are exceptionally robust, recognising the social imperative of ensuring alcohol advertising is responsible. The Advertising Standards Authority reviews its codes regularly to ensure they remain effective.
