BBC News - Alcohol minimum price plan to be unveiled
Who here still buy's their cider by the gallon?
Ministers are to unveil plans later for a minimum price for alcohol in England and Wales as part of a drive to tackle problem drinking.
The Home Office is expected to publish a consultation on the proposal, which was first put forward in the government's alcohol strategy in March.
A price of 40p per unit was suggested at the time.
But pressure has been mounting on ministers to follow Scotland's lead, where 50p has been proposed.
