The Daily Telegraph (p.1) reports that, according to the British Beer and Pub Association, Britons are drinking less alcohol; consumers drank an average of 5 fewer bottles of wine last year compared to 2009. This represents the biggest annual drop since records began. 2. The Daily Mail (p.27) reports that Scotland has introduced a minimum price for alcohol. Supermarkets north of the border will now have to sell all alcoholic beverages at no less than GBP0.45 per unit. The article notes that is likely that the remainder of the UK will follow suit.
