minimum alcohol pricing
Recent (March 2012) ONS figures show:
1. Between 2005 and 2010 average weekly alcohol consumption decreased from 14.3 units to 11.5 units per adult.
2. There have been falls in the proportions of both men and women who drink heavily since 2005. The estimates for men fell from 9 per cent to 6 per cent and for women fell from 5 per cent to 3 per cent from 2005 to 2010.
Therefore this petition calls upon the government to:
1.Acknowledge alcohol consumption is falling not rising and base decisions on this fact
2. Not to implement a minimum pricing policy for alcohol.
