One of the priorities for states to conduct anti-alcohol policies should be to ensure them safety. The tool that can be used to reduce the availability of alcohol is to restrict the sales of alcoholic beverages in the area of specific local government units or the country as a whole. The analysis of the regulations of Poland, England, Wales and Lithuania shows that each of them presents a different approach to alcohol policy. All the selected countries have introduced solutions into the legal system that make it possible to limit or prevent the sale of alcoholic beverages at nighttime. Still, the rules for their application are different. Effective application of such solutions in practice can, therefore, lead to a decrease in the amount of alcoholic beverages consumed in the area, which can consequently improve the situation of children in families with alcohol problemsOtroci, ki odraščajo v družinah, kjer so prisotne težave z alkoholom, se pogosto spopadajo s številnimi težavami na področju telesnega in duševnega zdravja kot tudi z negotovostjo. Ena od prednostnih nalog držav pri izvajanju protialkoholne politike bi morala biti zagotavljanje njihove varnosti. Ukrep, ki ga je mogoče uporabiti za zmanjšanje dostopnosti alkohola, je omejitev prodaje alkoholnih pijač na območju določenih enot lokalne samouprave ali države kot celote. Analiza predpisov Poljske, Anglije, Walesa in Litve kaže, da ima vsaka od njih drugačen pristop k alkoholni politiki. Vse izbrane države so v pravni sistem, uvedle rešitve, ki omogočajo omejevanje ali preprečevanje prodaje alkoholnih pijač v nočnem času. Kljub temu so pravila za njihovo uporabo različna. Učinkovita uporaba takšnih rešitev lahko zato v praksi privede do zmanjšanja količine alkoholnih pijač, ki se uživajo na tem območju, kar lahko posledično izboljša položaj otrok v družinah, v katerih se pojavljajo težave z alkoholomTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Mariboru, Pravna fakulteta
