It is time the people of Scotland wake up to their drinking habits. Deaths related to alcohol are at an all time high in the country.

The survey by NHS has pointed out that Scots are consuming an additional 1.2 litres of pure alcohol per year.


Alcohol-related deaths and hospital admissions are four times higher since the 1980's. A recent report has also showed that alcohol related deaths were six-fold higher among the poor people.
