Netanyahu said "drunkenness has become a plague on society, on every society, and we are determined to fight it all-out."

"I promised to pass this legislation and am pleased that we have succeeded. This is a first step," Netanyahu said.

Netanyahu continued saying "additional steps to defeat the phenomena of drunkenness and violence, especially among minors and young people, are expected soon. At the same time, we will step up our efforts in the areas of education and information."
