Outdoor feels the heat on booze

Australia’s outdoor industry is the latest to feel the heat from the anti-advertising lobby, with criticism of the siting of alcohol posters close to schools. A study by the NSW Centre for Overweight and Obesity suggests that alcoholic products are the single most advertised products near primary schools.
