Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower. ~Hans Christian Anderson
The Royal College of Nursing in England issued a report suggesting that alcohol use will cause over 90,000 avoidable deaths in the next decade.
The Royal College of Nursing wants better regulation of the alcohol industry to lessen the dangers and health care costs associated with heavy drinking.
“For 90,000 lives to be thrown away as a result of excessive drinking would be an absolute tragedy,” said Dr. Peter Carter, head of the RCN. “As well as causing unimaginable suffering for the families and friends of those involved, more people needing hospital treatment for alcohol-related reasons means extra pressure on an already over-stretched and pressurized health service.”
“The nation’s (England) relationship with alcohol is a national and international disgrace,” Carter said.
