 "Scotland has a reputation of being a nation of heavy drinkers. It is a reputation we are far too relaxed about...This is not about being anti-drinking but excessive alcohol consumption is presenting a significant challenge to Scotland's public health, and to our communities, and it is a challenge that no one can afford to ignore. Put simply, Scotland as a whole is paying far too high a price.  That's why - along with a whole range of other action - we have been meeting senior alcohol industry representatives to look at ways to make a difference.  I'm very pleased that we have reached common ground with the big drinks producers on promoting responsible consumption. It's in everyone's interest to make this happen. Over the next few weeks, we will be sorting out the detail of the agreement and outlining some of the specific voluntary steps that can be taken to encourage a more responsible attitude towards alcohol.  I want this to be the basis for a long term partnership - one which over time reaches out to include other producers, as well as alcohol retailers and the licensed trade. We are already working closely with all these sectors as we update the alcohol action plan.
