Minimum pricing only works if you go Scandinavian on its ass. £5 for a can of beer and £8 a pint in the pub. £20 for the cheapest vodka etc.
Just throwing 50p on a can of beer or £1.25 on a bottle of cider, is gonna make no difference at all. It will just mean the lowest earners will have to fork out more for drink. It might put a few people off that aren't really drinkers. But it won't stop alckies and boozers, they'll still buy, still have health problems. So I'm glad they're dropping it.
