Alcohol Industry Work
In June 2009 CERB published a report commissioned by SABMiller to assess the economic impact of minimum pricing for alcohol by unit. The move towards minimum pricing has been put forward by the Scottish Government and is being increasingly supported in England, as one, of a range of measures thought effective in tackling alcohol related harm. CERB found no economic basis for the introduction of minimum pricing per unit of alcohol and interestingly extended their critique to question the established evidence base that supports the policy [2]
