Drug related deaths kept rising after the minimum unit pricing. But they were raising pretty consistently before that though. A quick Google shows that they're finally plateauing now, which is great.

It's just too confident of a statement in my eyes. Whenever I read things like this, I'm immediately skeptical and beging questioning the motivations. On a sidenote, I wonder if these changes made a noticeable difference when it comes to the Glasgow effect[0].
