Scotland - (Few) Prosecutions for sales to drunks

Recently we provided figures showing the number of prosecutions in England and Wales for the sale of alcohol to someone who is drunk (see link).    

Figures have apparently now been released in Scotland according to press reports which show that just four persons have been prosecuted for selling alcohol to drunks in the past three years.  The statistics show one prosecution in 2009-2010, two in 2010-2011 and one in 2011-2012.

Further figures produced though show an increase in underage sales and buying alcohol for under 18s with 304 prosecutions for underage sales and 318 for purchasing alcohol for underage teens.
