NICE has again supported the call for a minimum price per unit of alcohol in its new guide Alcohol use disorders: preventing the development of hazardous and harmful drinking.
Alcohol needs to be less affordable and harder to buy in order to avoid young people developing regular exposure and dependency. NICE also supports a ban on alcohol advertising, to protect high risk groups. The call comes at a time supermarkets are TV advertising below cost alcohol in bulk cases as promotional items. The large supermarket groups and the alcohol industry are unlikely to support the move without government legislation.
NICE guidance is available to download from www.nice.org.uk

The new AL7000 digital hand held breathalyzer offers clinicians the ideal low cost alcohol detection and measuring device. The AL7000 breathalyser offers 4 digit accuracy, with direct display of actual blood alcohol levels at the time of testing.
The Al7000 breathalyzer has the all new prism semiconductor sensor. This sensor offers high accuracy alcohol detection with the convenience of sensor module exchange when the calibration has been exhausted (each sensor will give around 300 tests and can then be easily be changed on site with a new pre-calibrated sensor)
The above feature removes the need to send the Al7000 for calibration service at regular intervals to maintain accuracy. Replacement Al700 sensors are cheap and easy to fit.
The AL7000 samples a 5 second deep lung sample, just like police breathalysers.
Low cost mouth piece tubes should be used as consumables in clinic settings. The breathalyser takes standard AA batteries
Overall the AL7000 offers a robust highly accurate and reliable digital breathalyzer, getting clinics testing alcohol in patients for under £100 Full PPQ details are available for NHS purchase departments, simply e-mail trade@adtuk.co.uk or phone us on 01623 883 830 Monday to Friday 9am to 4.30pm
