MINIMUM UNIT PRICING

Information about the Scottish Government's minimum unit pricing of alcohol... Minimum unit pricing is designed to impact most on harmful drinkers - those who regularly drink more than the lower risk drinking guidelines. Those who drink within the lower risk guidelines should only be marginally affected because they consume a small amount of alcohol and don't tend to buy as much of the low-cost high strength alcohol that should be most affected by a minimum unit price... Minimum unit pricing is not a tax; it is a targeted way of making sure alcohol is sold at a sensible price.
