Alcohol is already not a good drug and price rises make it even less appealing. This doesn't really effect people who drink occasionally, it's designed to deter people from using alcohol as a substitute for proper mental healthcare.

Will proper mental healthcare be easier to get as a complementary measure?

Probably not. Been on the wait list for Lothian mental health since October 2021, called last week to check my place in the queue and estimated wait time. I've moved 10 spots since this time last year, and my estimated wait is still around 8 years.
