Alcohol minimum pricing laws will kick in Ireland tomorrow

From tomorrow in the Republic of Ireland Alcohol minimum pricing laws will kick in.

Alcohol will have a minimum price based on grams of alcohol with one gram costing a minimum of 10 cents.

Some sectors have called this move 'Elitist' as it unfairly targets lower-income consumers.
