How Much Does Liquor Cost In South Africa
Setting a minimum price of R10 per unit of alcohol would save more than 20,000 lives in South Africa over two decades, according to a new paper.
Such a floor price would see a 750ml bottle of 5% beer cost at least R25, and a 750ml bottle of wine with 12.5.% alcohol would cost at least R62.50.
Some people would switch to homebrew, and demand would fall, modellers say.
But they predict that South Africans would spend some R32.5 billion more every year to buy their booze – which is politically useful.
