Introducing minimum pricing for alcohol would be up to 50 times more effective than current government policy, according to health researchers.

Hundreds of deaths could be avoided every year with a minimum price for alcohol units, researchers estimated.

The Department of Health said it was "taking action to tackle cheap and harmful alcohol".

It added that it was working with industry to promote responsible drinking.
