The latest film in our Explained series looks at minimum unit pricing (MUP), providing a clear and comprehensive overview of:
- What it is and how it works
- Who it affects
- The evidence behind it – including evaluations from Scotland and Wales
- Lessons learned and how the policy could be implemented and improved in England
We discuss why the policy was introduced in Scotland and Wales, the impact on dependent drinkers and people on low-incomes, and why deaths still rose after the policy was introduced.
With expert insights, real-world data, and a focus on health inequalities, this film explains why MUP is considered one of the most impactful alcohol policies available – and why now is the time to act.
