Shandy Is 2 Drinks
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter —Copyright) LONDON, Feb. 1.
Three judges were asked today whether a shandy was one drink or two drinks in one glass.
The case was before the High Court where the licensee of the Wheatsheaf Inn in Farnsfield,
Nottinghamshire, Mr Edward Hyder, said that he had not sold intoxicating liquor to a minor when he served a 16-year-old with a shandy.
He said that the mixture of beer and lemon-
ade was below the alcoholic content of an intoxicating liquor.
The Magistrates in Nottinghamshire had agreed with him but today the police appealed—and won
their case. The judges ruled that a shandy is two drinks in one glass.
The publican sells beer and he sells lemonade, and he mixes them as the agent of the customer. As he sold beer to a 16-year-old be was selling
intoxicating liquor to a minor, the judges said.
