Move for Minimum Alcohol Pricing Dangerous
While problematic drinking is a concern and needs to be addressed, Alcohol Beverages Australia warns that putting a minimum price on alcohol is not the way because problem drinkers are willing to shell out however much it costs to purchase alcohol. In fact many will go to whatever means necessary to get their hands on alcohol.

How Many Drinks Are Too Many Before Getting Behind The Wheel
It’s surprising that in our time with all the education on drink driving and alternatives like adequate public transport, reliable taxi services like Uber etc. the problematic and dangerous practice is still taking place.
Much of the problem seems to lie in the fact that many of us know the blood alcohol limit of 0.05 but most don’t know how to tell when they’ve reached the limit.
The safest option is to not drink at all if you’re going to be driving, but if that’s not an option then you should learn what constitutes a standard drink and stick to it.
