Anti-alcohol consumption networks on Tuesday called for a ban on the use of alcoholic beverage logos to promote non-alcoholic drinks, labelling it a marketing ploy to raise people's recognition of unhealthy products.
Teera Watcharapranee, manager of the Stop Drink Network, said that the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act BE 2551 (2008) had been a huge success in preventing damage to society caused by the overconsumption of alcohol during the past 15 years. He hailed the law change as the result of close cooperation between the public sector, anti-alcohol networks and the Ministry of Public Health.
