Could minimum alcohol prices help the Island's pub trade thrive again?
Chief Constable Gary Roberts appeared at the opening of the triennial licensing courts this week, which sees licensees applying to renew their alcohol permits.
Addressing the court, Mr Roberts said a new substance misuse strategy from the government looks likely to introduce a minimum price per unit for alcohol.
He told the licensing bench such a move would save lives and help the on-licence trade regain its vibrancy.
