Amcan y ddeddfwriaeth yw mynd i’r afael â niwed sy’n gysylltiedig ag alcohol, gan gynnwys derbyniadau i ysbytai y gellid eu priodoli i alcohol a marwolaethau sy’n gysylltiedig ag alcohol yng Nghymru, drwy leihau faint o alcohol a gaiff ei yfed gan yfwyr peryglus a niweidiol.
The intended effect of this legislation is to tackle alcohol-related harm, including alcohol-attributable hospital admissions and alcohol-related deaths in Wales, by reducing alcohol consumption in hazardous and harmful drinkers.
