Alcohol Change UK, a charity, supports tighter controls and urges the government to update regulations on quick alcohol deliveries.
Key Facts

The charity also suggests a register to block vulnerable people from buying alcohol on these apps.
Current laws prohibit selling alcohol to drunk people, but critics say regulations have not kept up with delivery technology.
