Welsh government has unveiled plans for a new legislation that will mandate a minimum alcohol price, preventing liquor to be sold for less than 50p per unit.
The move comes in the wake of a research commissioned by Welsh Government in December last year which argued in favor of setting up a minimum unit price with potential savings of around 882m in the next 20 years in Wales.
The study said the measure has the potential for saving 50 lives a year and prevent 1,400 hospital admissions.
