The Department does not discuss individual products with producers or retailers.

Alcohol units are clearly labelled on individual products so all consumers can make informed choices.

We do have a commitment from over 30 companies to take a billion units of alcohol out of the market by the end of 2015, primarily through improving consumer choice of lower alcohol products.
