Minimum pricing bill for alcohol

Spotted a very interesting point agreed by the Scottish government just now. The minimum pricing bill for alcohol will pass its first major parliamentary hurdle without opposition.


Personally, I think that is great. The sooner that alcohol stops being sold at  ridiculously cheap prices to lure in both ordinary customers and alcoholics like me, therefore making the problem some have even worse. 


These cheap prices, designed to encourage customers to buy there, are probably very effective but the damage that they cause is massive.


This will help to diminish the problem. It won't end it but it will help.
