Researchers looked at five indicators of performance within the industry

Minimum unit pricing has been in place since 2018 and placed a minimum charge of 50p per unit of alcohol.

The research, done by Frontier Economics, said:"Evidence gathered does not suggest that MUP has significantly impacted the economic performance of the alcoholic drinks industry in Scotland." The report stated:"The consistent message the researchers heard was that the new equilibrium of industry performance in Scotland was characterised by lower volumes but higher prices that largely balanced out, with no reported direct impacts of MUP on store or facility openings or closures or staffing."
