NEW legislation will be introduced into the Victorian Parliament to require bars, pubs and clubs to serve free drinking water. 


The move is a bid to address alcohol-fuelled violence in Melbourne, the Gaming Minister Tony Robinson said. 


"Free drinking water is an important measure in addressing some of the anti-social activities we've seen arising as a result of excessive consumption of alcohol," he said. 


The law will come into effect this year, ABC News reports.
