Alcohol harm costs this country billions each year and this burden falls on all of us, drinkers, taxpayers and nondrinkers alike. The scientific evidence is clear; an integrated solution to the alcohol crisis, including small price increases, bans on advertising and removing alcohol from supermarkets, will produce significant benefits for everyone. These benefits, both financial and social, will far outweigh minor price rises and inconvenience.
