Drinkers in Britain face paying a minimum price for alcohol for the first time as the Prime Minister, David Cameron, warns it is no longer acceptable that ''beer is cheaper than water''.

Mr Cameron was to announce overnight a minimum price of 40p (61¢) a unit of alcohol in England and Wales will be set under laws to be introduced this year.

Supermarkets and other retailers will be barred from offering ''multi-buy discount deals''.

Mr Cameron will acknowledge that the alcohol crackdown will not be ''universally popular''. But insist that the move is necessary to stop the ''scourge of violence'' caused by binge drinking.

The minimum price, demanded by medical groups, will mean that a bottle of wine cannot be sold for less than £3.60; a can of lager will cost at least 80p; and a bottle of spirits between £10.40 and £11.20.
