The beer industry is calling for more taxes on spirits to help prevent alcohol abuse in Britain.
The call follows the Government’s announcement of a deal with drinks companies, which aims to promote healthier drinking habits.
As part of the pledge, drinks will have to be labelled with information about the number of units of alcohol they contain.
But beer companies say the deal should go further, and tackle, what they claim, are the privileges of the spirits industry.
