Yesterday, the Health Secretary, Nicola Sturgeon, notified that before introducing any proposal regarding minimum pricing of alcohol, the authorities in Scotland will be considering all evidences. "I don't think we can assume anything. We need to make sure that we are taking account all of the available evidence and that the evidence is up-to-date", she added further. In addition, she claimed after the previous legislation that had not succeeded to avail any approval from the parliament, the SNP was keen to "get this right".

On the other hand, the Chief Executive of brewer Greene King, Rooney Anand, has anticipated that the issue on the minimum pricing will surely "go to the very heart" of the matter, particularly with the binge drinking. The brewer Greene King credits to run approximately 2,000 properties including pubs, restaurants and hotels, across the United Kingdom.

The government in Scotland is enthusiastic to reintroduce an Alcohol Minimum Pricing Bill, most probably by the next month. However, a number of industry groups have notified a significant decline in the number of alcohol related deaths.

On the other hand, the Director of the Centre for Addictions Research of British Columbia, Professor Tim Stockwell, notified the existence of several evidences to depict that Canada has reported a noteworthy roll down in alcohol consumption rates due to minimum pricing.

Further, he insisted to acknowledge huge information that can support the fact that inexpensive availability of alcohol has a close association with higher and dangerous consumption of alcohol along with a number of other consequences.

Simultaneously, Willie Rennie, the Scottish Liberal Democrat leader had commented on the issue and applauded the support from the business community. Further, Willie Rennie anticipated that this support will boost the effective implementation of new legislation.
