A two-litre bottle of cider can be bought in England for under 2 , which equates to 22p per unit of alcohol.

Greg Fell , president of the Association of Directors of Public Health , said England needed to follow Scotland and Wales by introducing minimum unit pricing.

He added that a comprehensive national alcohol strategy was required, with a package of measures to reduce hospital admissions and deaths linked to excessive drinking.
