Summary

Pub-goers drank almost 10% less beer and cider when beer was served in two-thirds servings.

Researchers say that alcohol policies could enforce this change with legislation.

Less than one per cent of pubs contacted about the trial agreed to participate.

Should this become policy, bars could face falls in revenue of to 9.6 per cent .

Cutting down alcohol consumption reduces seven common cancers and diseases.

Likewise, Andy Slee , chief executive of the Society of Independent Brewers , told MailOnline : 'It should be down to publicans, brewers and beer drinkers to decide the best way to enjoy a local beer.' However, despite the obvious resistance to the introduction of the policy, the researchers maintain that their findings should be included in consideration for new regulations. Professor Marteau says: 'There is a trade-off to be made between improving population health by reducing alcohol consumption through effective alcohol control policies and the health of the alcohol industry.'.
