Summary
A 28-year-old man died after falling from his third-floor flat while heavily intoxicated, thanks to the rapid, unrestricted delivery of alcohol via apps. The coroner’s findings have sparked alarm over how easily alcohol is now accessible, even to those already drunk. Alcohol Change UK confirms outdated laws can’t keep pace with these services, which are used weekly by thousands, fueling uncontrolled drinking. The charity is pushing for urgent reforms — including age checks, intoxication alerts, delivery hour limits, and self-blocking features — to prevent more tragedies and protect public health.
