Question 1

Minimum Pricing

Answer 1

The SNP government introduced the Alcohol (Minimum Unit Pricing) (Scotland) Act in 2012. This law means that each unit of alcohol must cost at least 50p. As a result, stronger drinks with more units of alcohol in them will now be more expensive. Overall, the idea behind MUP is that by making alcohol more expensive less people will drink to excessive levels.

For example, the most recent research by the University of Sheffield estimated that Minimum Unit Pricing would reduce Alcohol related deaths by about 120 per year.
