Sale of alcoholic drinks in bottles of less than 750 millilitres will be illegal if Parliament approves a proposed law that will trigger an increase in the prices of beer and spirits and put the drinks out of the reach of a majority of the youth.

The Bill seeks to increase the minimum bottle size from the current 250 millilitres in efforts to curb the sale of alcoholic drinks in small packages that have been blamed for fuelling consumption among the youth.
