[[File:Minimal Evidence Minimum Pricing.pdf|The Minimal Evidence for Minimum Pricing]] is a research piece debunking the [[Sheffield Alcohol Policy Model]] used by the [[University of Sheffield]] in supporting the [[minimum pricing]] policy the English/Welsh and Scottish Governments are attempting to introduce to the UK.

In it they point out that
* The model used is unrealistic for a number of reasons, specififically
* The model presumes that heavy drinkers are effected by price elasticity, when much research points to the opposite conclusion
* Figures are used as absolutes without error margins or acknowledgement of statistical errors
* Where data is unavailable, numbers are essentially 'made up' to order
* The existence of the black market/legal cross-border transactions is ignored
* The fact that [[alcohol consumption]] has already been in decline in the past few years is ignored, to the point where that reduction has not led to the outcomes otherwise predicted by the model.
