(Decanter) - A powerful alliance of health professionals wants a French-style ban on alcoholic drinks advertising on television and at sports events in the UK. The Alcohol Health Alliance (AHA) has called on the government to introduce its own version of France's 'Loi Evin'. The Evin law, passed in 1991, bans wineries and other drinks makers from sponsoring cultural or sporting events and also prohibits television and cinema advertising.
