 A minimum unit price for alcohol is here. 10 people die from alcohol-related causes and there are more than 1,000 alcohol-related hospital admissions every week in Wales. We want to reduce the considerable damage alcohol causes to people's health and lives. Research shows that price matters. When alcohol is cheap and readily available, unhealthy drinking increases. The new minimum unit price of 50p won't increase the cost of every drink so you're unlikely to see an increase in the cost of a pint. But it will affect high-strength, low-cost products like strong ciders, reducing the damage being done to those most at risk of alcohol abuse. This is just one of the things the Welsh Government is doing to tackle the harm caused by alcohol. Treatment and support for those who need help is in place across Wales. With the Welsh Government investing almost £53m a year to help tackle substance misuse. The new minimum unit price is low. Anyone found selling or supplying alcohol below this price after the 2nd of March will be breaking the law and could be fined or go to court and face further penalties. The sad fact is that too many of us are drinking too much and this can affect our health and well-being.
