CP All has officially decided not to combat activist pressure and announced the end of its very brief sales of draught beer at selected 7-Eleven outlets. CP All, which runs 7-Eleven stores in Thailand, announced Tuesday it is ending the sale of draught beer at its outlets in the face of opposition from prohibitionist networks. Anti-alcohol advocates and health authorities spoke against the controversial beer sales, saying it gave underage youths easier access to alcohol and encouraged alcohol consumption in general. This findings appear to contradict an earlier inspection of the convenience stores. Anti-alcohol advocates will forward their resolution to the Office of Alcohol Control Committee for further consideration, they said.
