ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Drinks companies and the tourism industry voiced opposition to Turkey's plans to ban alcohol advertising and curb sales ahead of a final decision on the bill, saying it could hit tourism revenues and have little impact on alcohol abuse.

Turkey announced plans last month to ban alcohol advertising and stop shops selling alcohol from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. and President Abdullah Gul has until Tuesday to sign or reject the bill.
