If you drink responsibly, a few extra pence on a bottle will be immaterial.
According to the Scottish minimum pricing laws to be introduced next year;
"Given the link between consumption and harm and evidence that affordability is one of the drivers of increased consumption, addressing price is an important element of any long-term strategy.
Alcohol is now 60 per cent more affordable in the UK than it was in 1980. It is possible in Scotland today to exceed the new lower risk guidelines for alcohol (14 units per week) for less than £2.50. This is an unacceptable position and we have a responsibility to address this problem.
There is strong international evidence that tackling price - as part of a package of measures, including education and diversion - can help reduce alcohol consumption and related harm."
Do you want harm reduction, or don't you?
You can't have one law for those you think drink responsibly and another for those who don't!
