Round-The-Clock Bars To Face Restraints In UK
"We will toughen the sanctions for those premises found to be persistently selling alcohol to children and will allow local councils to charge more for late-night licences, which in turn will raise money for extra policing.
"We will also ban the below cost sale of alcohol."
However Gordon Brown admitted last year that 24-hour drinking was "not working", and earlier this year Home Secretary Theresa May announced the licensing regime would undergo a "complete review".
Meanwhile, supermarket chain ASDA says it will do its bit to tackle binge drinking in the UK by getting cut-price deals on alcohol off its shelves.
Chief executive Andy Clarke has written to Mrs May, promising no booze will be sold at below the cost of duty on the product plus VAT.
Mr Clarke wrote: "I see this as an important first step in the process towards creating a new way of selling alcohol in the UK."
