Mae goryfed llawer o alcohol rhad mewn pyliau yn hynod niweidiol i iechyd pobl, ac mae hefyd yn cael effaith enfawr ar adnoddau’r GIG. Nod cyflwyno’r isafbris uned am alcohol yw helpu i leihau goryfed, a gallai hynny helpu i achub llawer o fywydau.”
“We want to reduce alcohol related harm and deaths in Wales. Nearly 1 in 5 adults are drinking above the safe guideline of 14 units per week. Binge drinking a large quantity of cheap alcohol is particularly damaging on people’s health and has a huge impact on NHS resources. The introduction of an MUP aims to support the reduction of excess drinking and could help save many lives.”
