Pub happy hours should be banned and supermarkets stopped from selling alcohol at a loss, in order to combat drink-fuelled disorder, MPs have said.
The Home Affairs select committee said reckless drinking was placing a heavy burden on police resources.
One possible solution in England and Wales, MPs said, would be legislation setting a minimum price on alcohol - already being considered in Scotland.
Ministers said they would "look carefully" at the recommendations. ..
The committee's wide-ranging report said police were "hitting their targets but missing the point".
It said police faced a host of challenges in the 21st Century, including reviewing their core purpose amid competing demands for officers' time.
But it added that evidence showed the biggest problem faced by police forces was violence and disorder caused by excessive drinking of cheap alcohol.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7718950.stm
