More about the programme

It’s been described as the “missing link” in tackling excessive drinking but also as a “charge on the poor”. 

In this week’s edition of Eye on Wales, Kayley Thomas and guests discuss minimum alcohol pricing – in effect setting the lowest price a unit of alcohol can be sold for.

The Welsh Government has unveiled a law which would do that, but will it have the desired effect of reducing the toll drink takes on society?

And, with similar legislation in Scotland held up by a protracted long legal battle, why are Welsh ministers trying to introduce MUP now?
