A new research is questioning whether minimum pricing for alcohol is fair or not, since it is going to affect those, who belong to low income groups or are living on the edge.

A study conducted by Aberdeen University has demonstrated that people belonging to all income classes purchase priced alcohol that does not make a hole in their pockets and it is not just the poor, who indulge in buying the cheap costing alcohol.

The Scottish Government has brought forth controversial plans, in order to bring in a minimum price for each unit for alcohol, as part of a variety of measures that are aimed at tackling Scotland's drink crisis.

But the SNP management does not have the political support to get its proposal through Holyrood, with Labor, the Tories and Liberal Democrats, since all opposed the move.

The study, conducted by Professor Anne Ludbrook of Aberdeen University, was an examination of household income and expenses prototypes.

It could see that there was not much difference between the people with low incomes and a little higher incomes, when it was about how much alcohol they purchased that is priced less than 30p per unit.
