Pubwatch Christmas scheme launched

Act responsibly this Christmas – or risk a ban from all pubs on the Isle of Man.

That’s the message from Pubwatch as pubs across the Island launch their Christmas campaign.

They’ve teamed up with police to highlight the necessity of safe drinking and warn binge-drinking can 'risk lives'.

All-Island Pubwatch chairman, Steve McDowell, says changing drinking habits means it’s increasingly difficult to manage licensed premises.
