Experts say the new minimum prices on alcohol sales are not enough - Wales News - News - WalesOnline: "ALCOHOL price measures will not break a binge-drinking culture that fuels violence and health problems, experts have said.

They have warned that Government plans to ban retailers from selling booze below the rate of the tax they pay on it will do little to curb the problems that plague Cardiff city centre at night.

One alcohol campaigner claimed supermarkets and off-licences will still be able to offer alcohol below cost price.

But crime prevention minister James Brokenshire said the shake-up would tackle the worst cases of discounting and reduce violent crime."
