Under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012, what are the restrictions on alcohol advertising that targets minors in NZ?
Answer: Alcohol advertising must not be directed at or have strong appeal to people under 18, including through use of youth-oriented imagery, themes, or media placements that primarily reach under-18s
The ASA's Alcohol Advertising and Promotions Code requires that alcohol advertising must not be directed at or have particular appeal to those under 18 — this covers content, imagery, media placement, and themes.
Under NZ law, what is a 'happy hour' promotion and when is it lawful?
Answer: A time-limited discount on alcohol prices is permitted provided it does not encourage rapid or excessive consumption

Under NZ law, what is the legal obligation on licensed premises regarding the provision of food?
Answer: On-licences must ensure that food is available during trading hours
On-licensed premises are required to have food available for purchase by patrons during trading hours as a harm minimisation measure, as food slows the absorption of alcohol.
In NZ, what does the Alcohol Advertising and Promotions Code prohibit regarding alcohol advertising and sporting events?

The Code prohibits alcohol advertising that links consumption with improved sporting performance, or that uses sporting personalities in ways that primarily appeal to young people or suggest alcohol improves performance.
