I had a nurse on discharge from rehab who was really lovely and said that alcohol gets a hold of people really quickly. It's not like heroin obviously, but it's easier than you think to go from weekends and social drinking to every night and then a full on dependency. A lot of people think alcohol is a drug like other drugs. I'm not one of them. I can enjoy a craft beer on a night with a friend every once in a while. The minimum pricing per unit was probably a good step come to think of it.
