'Cider is cheaper than milk': AAI call for minimum unit pricing for alcohol

Alcohol Action Ireland is calling on the Government to introduce minimum unit pricing for alcohol as a matter of urgency.

With a litre of cider often selling for less than a litre of milk, Alcohol Action Ireland are calling on the Government to introduce minimum unit pricing for alcohol as a matter of urgency.

The charity carried out its annual price review and found that 1 litre of cider can cost as little as 88 cent, which is cheaper than a litre of milk in most places.
