I've done some toggling and found this article abstract.

and what I have to say is this:

Touche.

Key sentence:

The results also suggested that compared with general price increases, minimum- pricing policies might affect harmful drinkers proportionally more...

I guess I'd be pleased to see the provincial Alberta government embrace epidemiologically based policy making. Especially if they do it consistently and not just when it aligns with their ideology.

For alcohol, because of it's prevalence in society, yet known destructiveness, it is a very prickly topic. Historically we already know that prohibition is the worst solution to the problem and has far worse outcomes.
