Alcohol (Minimum Pricing)(Scotland) Bill - Briefing Paper

This briefing outlines the rationale behind minimum pricing, the results from the Health and Sport Committee‟s call for evidence and the key issues raised in relation to the policy.

Increasing prices of alcohol decreases consumption: study

The research, out of the Centre for Addictions, is based on 20 years of data from 1989 to 2010, and suggests that a 10 percent increase in the minimum price of an alcoholic beverage leads to a more than 16 percent decrease in its consumption compared to other beverages. Researchers argue that this, in turn, can have an impact on public health and safety.
