Alcohol score: Scotland 50p – England/Wales 40p
Scottish ministers have proposed a minimum 50p per alcohol unit. A bottle of wine would set you back at least £4.69 and four cans of Tesco strong dry cider would rise from £1.80 to £4.67. Will this rein in alcohol abuse? (more about minimum alcohol pricing...)

Holographic supermarket assistants? Err no
Do you like to be greeted when you go to a supermarket? Perhaps by a friendly shop assistant handing you a basket? How about by a hologram who informs you of the store’s special offers? (more about Asda's hologram...)
This week in comments – bread, bikes and Boeing
Do you settle for supermarket loaves or crave the real thing? Are you a fan of Boris bikes or do you prefer your own bicycle? Would you pay extra to fly on the Boeing Dreamliner? Here are your best comments this week. (this week in comments...)
Toyota Aygo’s stability is back under control – at what cost?
So Toyota has done a u-turn and reinstated electronic stability control for its Aygo city car. Like everyone here at Which? I’m delighted that Aygo buyers are once again being offered this vital safety item. (more about Toyota Aygo safety...)
