Britain's chief doctor is expected to advise the government on Monday to sharply raise the price of alcohol to try to combat soaring levels of so-called "binge drinking," especially among young people.
In a report, chief medical officer Liam Donaldson is expected to recommend that the government set a minimum price of 50 pence per unit of alcohol sold, which would nearly double the price of some discount beer and wine.
