Minimum unit pricing for alcohol must continue if Scotland is to overcome its “drinking pandemic” according to the boss of a lifeline Dumbarton charity.
Mags Mackenzie of Dumbarton Area Council on Alcohol (DACA) spoke out after Public Health Scotland published a report into the impact minimum unit pricing (MUP) was having.
The report said that there was no clear evidence of a change in consumption or severity of dependence in those drinking to harmful levels.
