INTRODUCTION Alcohol is a major contributor to the global burden of disease, particularly in the European region [1]. In Scotland, the rate of deaths related to liver cirrhosis, an indicator of alcohol harm, has been shown to be among the highest in western and central Europe [2]. Despite having fallen from a peak in 2003, rates of alcohol-specific deaths remain considerably higher than those seen in England and Wales (EW) [3].

The legislation contains a sunset clause meaning a comprehensive mixed‐methods evaluation of its impact across a range of outcomes will inform whether it will continue beyond its sixth year.
