<p>Supermarkets should stop displaying alcohol next to everyday items such as bread and milk, health campaigners have said.</p>
<p>Stores are &#8220;overflowing&#8221; with discounted alcohol, according to Alcohol Concern, which is urging supermarkets and off-licenses to display drink in only one part of their shops.</p>
<p>Research for the charity in December found supermarkets including Sainsbury&#8217;s, Tesco, Morrisons and Asda placing alcohol displays throughout their stores.</p>
<p>Experts at Alcohol Concern said England should follow examples set in Scotland and supported by the Welsh Assembly Government to restrict the places where alcohol can be seen.</p>
<p>A survey of 1,000 shoppers found that 70% backed the idea of alcohol being confined to a single area within a store.</p>
<p>Other research suggests sales of alcohol from supermarkets and off-licences are rising and now account for nearly half of all alcohol sold.</p>
<p>Alcohol Concern wants a 50p per unit minimum introduced to stop the &#8220;deep discounting of alcohol by supermarkets&#8221;.</p>
<p>British Retail Consortium food director Andrew Opie said: &#8220;This is a very small-scale survey, looking at just four stores in a single UK city.</p>
<p>&#8220;Supermarkets are the most responsible sellers of alcohol. They enforce Challenge 25 to prevent under-age sales, display &#8216;Know Your Limits&#8217; unit labelling and provide funding for the Drink Aware campaign.&#8221;</p>
