Roisin Shorthall back in the news about minimum pricing

Don't know why I didn't think of this before.

Would minimum pricing make free pints and even free samples illegal?

On the face of it, I would think it would and that is bad for pubs and consumers alike.

This woman is on newstalk now!

Oh. Yes I think it would.

Now there's a question for CAMRA Scotland.

Nah, you could make the distinction between being sold and being given away free.

Just like no VAT and 0% VAT. End result is the same, but there is a distinction.

Are you 100% sure about that? Could free alcohol not be used as a workaround the minimum price legislation?

I think it just depends on exactly how they frame the legislation: "a minimum price for alcohol" or "a minimum price at which alcohol can be sold", as Tube says.
