Uganda Parliament drops Alcoholic Drinks Control Bill

“On average, a Ugandan consumes 12.21 litres of pure alcohol annually, hence exceeding safe limits and at risk of getting many chronic diseases. We conclude that there is an urgent need to regulate the manufacture, importation, sale, consumption and advertisement of Alcoholic Drinks in Uganda,” he added.
