Explained in plain English

How much does alcohol cost?

The UK has some of the lowest alcohol taxes in Europe, making drinks more affordable. For example, a pint of beer in a UK pub has a lower tax burden than in Finland or Ireland. This affordability can contribute to higher consumption rates and related harms.
