Over the past few years, both on and off-trade have made enormous strides to ensure alcohol is retailed responsibly. And although under-age drinking is still a major issue, steps have been taken that should see this falling away even more rapidly in the very near future.

Off Licence News and the Morning Advertiser are staging a morning seminar to discuss the industry's response to this urgent question. Key industry speakers drawn from on and off-trade, plus Government representatives will present papers and debate what is likely to happen next.

The seminar is tied to the two titles' Responsible Drinks Retailing awards and campaign, which has been at the heart of the responsible drinking efforts for over 3 years, and which culminates with the RDR awards luncheon immediately after the morning seminar.
