The price of alcohol is to be increased further in Scotland in an attempt to reduce the harm caused by what is described as the country’s favourite drug.
The minimum price that alcohol can be sold at is to be increased from 50p a unit to 65p, raising the price of a standard bottle of whisky by £4.40 to £18.20 and the cheapest bottle of wine by £1.46 to take it to £6.34.
