Poll: Should alcohol sponsorships of sporting events be banned?

What do you think?

However the Campaign to Stop-Out-Of-Control Drinking report, part-funded by Diageo, makes no mention of sports sponsorships by alcohol brands.

Plans to ban the sponsorships were discussed at length before being dropped earlier this year. But should they have been? Should alcohol have a place in sport?

We’re asking: Should alcohol sponsorships of sporting events be banned?
