the English are addicted to binge drinking
A report released recently by the Centre for Public Health at Liverpool John Moores University and the North West Public Health Observatory stated that the North of England particularly, is in the grip of dangerous levels of binge drinking.
18% of adults in England overall reported binge drinking (defined by them as more than double the recommended daily limit) more than once a week. Certain areas reported even higher levels - up to 27% in some major northern cities. This is not just a problem with young men - women are binge drinking far more than they used to.
The shadow home secretary, David Davis said:
“This alarming research shows why it was wrong of the government to unleash 24-hour drinking on all our towns and cities without a proper assessment of the consequences.”
This is a problem which seems to be getting worse. Realistically, what can be done about it? As we’ve said before, it is not just the responsibility of the government to advise against drinking, or of the health service to ‘mop-up’ the mess afterwards.
Some people point the finger at the alcohol industry which produces such cheap drinks now. But many countries in Europe have much cheaper alcohol than England, so why are we such a nation of drunkards?
these people need God ,so sadily empety .
