Poll: Should hairdressers and barbers be banned from giving out free alcoholic drinks?
BEING OFFERED A complimentary bottle of beer or a glass of wine while you get your haircut has become a common occurrence in Ireland.
Certain barbershops will give their customers a beer (or even a whiskey), while higher-end salons have been known to offer a free glass of prosecco or a cocktail with a beauty treatment.
However, the Irish Independent reports this morning that this practice could soon be banned under new laws.
The incoming Public Health (Alcohol) Bill will allow for regulations to be brought in to stop establishments supplying free alcohol.
Alcohol awareness groups have called for an end to this practice as it further contributes to the “normalisation” of alcohol use in Ireland.
But for many people, a beer or glass of wine could be just what they want as they get their hair cut or styled.
But what do you think?
Today we’re asking, Should hairdressers and barbers be banned from giving out free alcoholic drinks?
