2009 Review - Alcohol pricing
Graham Stewart looks back at the debate over minimum pricing on alcohol in our review of 2009.
Is it time to get tough on Scotland's addiction to booze? In our look back at the big phone-in topics of 2009, Graham Stewart examines the debate on minimum pricing.
We hear again an interview with former radio presenter Ray Daniels who claimed the NHS abandoned him after finding out he had only months to live as a result of his alcoholism. And we look at the impact on families by hearing the story of 'Sylvie', who told us in October about the effects of her husband's addiction.
But what of the proposed preventative measures? Is the Parliamentary opposition to minimum pricing all just political posturing? Or are there legitimate concerns about its effectiveness and its legality? Graham Stewart takes your calls, texts and emails.
