Cafodd bwriad llywodraeth Prydain i fynd i’r afael â sbri-yfed trwy wahardd gwerthu diodydd rhad mewn tafarnau ei groesawu gan un o arweinwyr Undeb yr Annibynwyr. Mae hyn yn dangos bod y llywodraeth yn cydnabod – o’r diwedd - bod gor-yfed yn broblem enbyd, dywedodd y Parchg Beti-Wyn James, cadeirydd Adran Teulu’r Undeb. Ond gobeithio mai'r cam cyntaf yw hyn, meddai. Mae angen deddfu hefyd i osod isafbris ar alcohol sy’n cael ei werthu’n afresymol o rad mewn archfarchnadoedd.
The UK government’s plan to combat binge-drinking by banning all-you-can-drink promotions in bars has been welcomed by a Welsh chapel union leader. This shows that the government has recognised – at last – that binge drinking is a very serious problem, said the Revd Beti-Wyn James, who chairs the Family Department of the Union of Welsh Independent chapels. But this should be the first step, she said. Legislation is also needed to set a minimum price on unreasonably cheap alcohol sold in supermarkets.
