This post does seem to contain some level of misunderstanding of the situation.
As I understand it Frosty Jack doesn't exist to allow those too poor to afford decent booze to enjoy a civilised drink. As scarpe will testify, it is simply the most cost effective way of getting the most units of alcohol into yourself as quickly as possible.
The research into this suggests that increasing the minimum price per unit will have an effect on reducing the number of alcohol related deaths. That is why they are doing it.
(Also, isn't this only in Scotland?)

Seems a bit unfair.
Unless they also abolish tuition fees and introduce free prescriptions here too. Just giving us their shit laws doesn't seem fair...
