BrewDog had a solution: create a beer that’s extremely high in alcohol content (18.2% ABV to be exact), so people will only drink one. Enter Tokyo*, a brew designed to end “binge beer-drinking.”
But Scottish authorities said no and demanded the product be removed from the shelves. Alcohol Focus Scotland chief executive Jack Law offered his thoughts:
“It is utterly irresponsible to bring out a beer which is so strong at a time when Scotland is facing unprecedented levels of alcohol-related health and social harm. Just one bottle of this beer contains six units of alcohol — twice the recommended daily limit.”
