Convenience store chain urged to halt draught beer sales

Convenience store chain urged to halt draught beer sales

Public Health Minister Piyasakol Sakolsatayadorn on Monday urged a large convenience store chain not to sell draught beer.

“The sales won’t generate a huge income but will cause many negative impacts,” he said. 
He did not identify the chain. 
However, some social-media posts have revealed that draught-beer machines have already disappeared from some 7-Eleven outlets. 
Piyasakol said alcohol consumption was a cause of several health problems. 
“We haven’t found any sale of draught beer at convenience stores in foreign countries,” he said. 
He added that the Disease Control Department was also looking into whether the sale was a violation of the Alcohol Beverage Control Act.
