Minimum alcohol pricing applies to alcohol sold within the State. It is a price per unit per alcohol and requires it to be sold at a certain level. It applies to all alcohol products and is designed to incentivise responsible use of alcohol and prevent its abuse. Given that 90% of the food we produce is exported and that this determines the price, I have not heard from anyone how such a system could be put in place that would have a meaningful impact on the food chain.
