A minimum price for alcohol has come into force in Scotland today, set at 50p per unit. The Scottish Government hopes the move will cut down on the number of deaths caused by excessive drinking - by making the cheapest alcohol significantly more expensive. The British Medical Association has renewed its call for it to be introduced here. So would you support an increase in alcohol pricing? Vinny got the views of Colin Neill Chief Executive Hospitality Ulster and Dave Atherton from group Freedom to Choose.
