Abstract
The Scottish Parliament recently passed the Alcohol etc (Scotland) Bill following a long debate regarding minimum pricing. This article considers the arguments that ensued and some of the evidence that was produced. While minimum pricing was removed from the final bill, the author argues this will not be the end of the debate on price in Scotland.
