Drinkers face loss of boss tossing
POPULAR alcohol promotions such as "toss the boss" and "free drinks for women" and even serving spirits in shot glasses could be banned at individual pubs and clubs under new powers designed to crack down on excessive drinking. Draft guidelines from the Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing grant the director of liquor and gaming, Albert Gardner, the right to order venues to stop promotions and activities seen as likely to encourage bingeing. Licensees who failed to do so would be prosecuted and fined up to $5500. http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/drinkers-face-loss-of-boss-tossing/2008/07/08/1215282835393.html
