Teenage alcohol consumption is in decline in many Western countries. However, is alcohol harm among young people also falling?

Australia's Northern Territory has removed Minimum Unit Pricing (MUP) for alcohol. Evidence strongly suggests this repeal was driven by politics, not facts.

The Northern Territory has officially removed their MUP. It is hard to say exactly what will happen from here. There will likely be a rise in alcohol-related harm, but the magnitude is hard to estimate. When introduced the policy covered roughly 20% of the market, inflation has likely reduced that.
