The above link refers to the MSPs Alcohol Bill aiming to tackle Scotland's historical alcohol problems. Key measures including a minimum drink price and raising the purchase age for off licence sales have not been included in the bill. It aims to end the sale of alcohol at heavily discounted prices, as well as offers such as buy on get one free. It is hoped that the bill with 'pave the way for the introduction, in future, of a "social responsibility fee" on retailers who sell alcohol.
Do you think that these measures will significantly impact the social and health damage caused by alcohol consumption in Scotland or will they just stratch the surface?
