Tighter rules needed on online alcohol orders to protect underage teenagers, warn charities
Alcohol charities are calling for tighter rules on online delivery firms amid growing concerns that they are making home drop-offs to problem drinkers and children aged under 18.
Recent research by Wrexham University found that age-verification measures used by suppliers and delivery firms were weak, with online checks easy to get around and couriers manually checking the age of fewer than half of alcohol purchasers.
