Report on availability in supermarkets out next year
The Minister for Health and Social Care says a multi-faceted approach is needed to tackle the problems caused by alcohol abuse.
Last week saw Howard Quayle make a successful amendment to a Tynwald proposal calling for restrictions on cut-price alcohol.
A report into the availability of alcohol in supermarkets will be compiled for next year.
It's expected to make recommendations such as minimum pricing, higher licence costs for vendors and a ban on loss-leading sales techniques.
But Minister Quayle believes it's more than just an economic problem:
