PUBS should offer smaller measures of wine to help tackle *excessive drinking *according to the Scottish Government.
A campaign to urge more bars and restaurants to sell wine by 125ml glasses has been launched and backed by the pub trade.
Many bars offer only two sizes, medium and large, in 175 or 250ml measures, with the larger equal to one third of a bottle - comparable to three units of alcohol.
Michael Matheson, Public Health Minister, said too many bars ignore the small measure which does not promote responsible drinking.
