I dont think minimum pricing would affect pubs - its aimed at slabs of cheap lager etc.
how many people are drunk and disorderly coming home from their own houses?
/QUOTE]
Maybe its just my perception but the drunken stabbings end of the market seems to centre around "house parties" - its probably more to do with drugs than drink as such, but I guess at least in some pubs the use of drugs is a bit more curtailed.
Anyway, unless you are intent on getting out of your mind on absolute muck, I don't think there's a need to worry about minumum unit pricing.
Sure what it costs in a French supermarket is not relevant, the same bottle costs more over here (understandably) - I'd rarely buy anything for less than €8. I came across this when googling https://alcoholireland.ie/minimum-pricing-campaign/the-facts/You can get drinkable wine in a French supermarket for 3-4 euros. Under MUP it will be at least double that here.
We already have the highest drink prices in the EU, if there was any basis to alcohol pricing and socieral effects we should have the least problems with alcohol.
No societal benefits will be generated by this. The beneficiaries will be those that sell alcohol.

Scotland brought it in, maybe see what's the verdict there (similar attitude to drink I'd say) - http://www.healthscotland.scot/heal...f-evaluation-of-mup/why-we-are-evaluating-mup
