You might want to keep hold of your beers as licensing experts have warned that football fans throwing cups of beer to celebrate England goals at the World Cup could be liable for assault.
It might seem like harmless fun to some, and maybe just an annoying nuisance to others, but fans could get into serious trouble for doing it, as Poppleston Allen explained in an online Q&A.
The firm explained: ‘There is no specific licensing reason why [fans aren’t allowed to throw beer], [but] in terms of criminal activity, clearly if an object such as a glass or even a polycarbonate is thrown deliberately, that would be an assault or an attempted assault. ‘Throwing plastics full of liquid in the air which may hit someone, but probably not cause damage, is not likely to be a criminal activity, but could be regarded as reckless which can be criminal.Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at
