That amendment would be brilliant if the alcohol being sold on the air side of security was somehow different from the alcohol sold elsewhere but it is not. If we are going to take our obligations seriously, we need to back labelling and warnings, no matter where the alcohol is being sold. There is no difference between a unit of alcohol sold other than air side versus that sold on the air side. This is a public health measure and we must be open about the health risks. This should hold regardless of where the alcohol is sold.
