A draft health bill presented to French ministers on Wednesday aims to target binge drinking by hitting people who incite it with €15,000 (£12,000) fines and sentences of up to a year in jail.
The proposed legislation makes encouraging “le binge drinking” – the English term is most often used – a specific offence and is aimed at combatting alcoholism among the young.
No details were given by the health minister, Marisol Touraine, as to how any law, if passed by parliament, would be enforced.
