Government set out new Alcohol Prices

The video discusses the UK government's plan to impose a minimum price on alcohol to reduce alcohol-related crime and disorder. It compares current alcohol prices with proposed minimum prices and explores the potential impact on binge drinking and crime. Despite the government's hopes, there is skepticism about the policy's effectiveness, with concerns that it may not significantly change drinking habits. The government views this as a first step in addressing alcohol-related issues, which cost taxpayers an estimated £13 billion annually.
