Call for bars, off-trade to pull vodka sachets from shelves

A DRINKS industry lobby group has recommended bars and off-licences cease stocking two popular vodka-based drinks targeted at youngsters.

The Mature Enjoyment of Alcohol in Society group (MEAS) has asked drinks retailers to remove Original Bullseye Baggies and Vodka Twistee Shots from their shelves.

The Original Bullseye Baggies vodka-in-a-sachet, with its dart-board motif and plastic packaging, was branded in a manner likely to have a particular appeal to the under 18s.
