AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - People in the Netherlands convicted of crimes related to alcohol abuse will have to wear a special ankle bracelet to monitor their drinking habits once the government has passed the necessary legislation.
The Dutch justice ministry has said the electronic bracelet or tag will keep track of any sign of alcohol consumption by analysing the sweat of the person wearing it.
