The introduction of an all-Island pubwatch scheme has been welcomed by the Isle of Man's Licensed Victuallers Association.
The initiative will see anyone barred from a pub for serious disorderly behaviour excluded from all of the participating public houses.
Previously, a ban would only be effective in the particular pubwatch region.
LVA spokesman Geoff Joughin, landlord of the Albert pub in Douglas, says the threat of a total ban should act as a strong deterrent to irresponsible behaviour.
