Minimum unit pricing (MUP) is here to stay, in Wales at least. Today, Members of @WelshGovernment / @LlywodraethCym – voted to keep the minimum price for alcohol that was introduced in 2020, and to increase it from 50p to 65p per unit.
Pricing alone cannot solve every alcohol problem and effective forms of treatment for those most vulnerable must also be improved, but by removing the cheapest, strongest drinks from the market, MUP will continue to make a significant contribution to reducing alcohol harm.
Find out more about our thoughts on MUP remaining in Wales here👇

"If you've been caught drink driving, you should be losing your licence. If you've done it repeatedly, you're just lucky that you've not killed somebody."

Clever tricks to make things disappear 🪄
A new FOI study from @InstAlcStud shows how the alcohol industry pressured ministers and government departments to successfully remove proposed alcohol marketing restrictions from England's 10 Year Health Plan - plans which would shift alcohol out of the spotlight and reduce harm for millions of people.
To ensure we as a society are protected from alcohol harm, public health policy must not be interfered with by the alcohol industry.
