Learn all you can from the mistakes of others. You won’t have time to make them all yourself. ~Alfred Sheinwold
At the Faculty of Public Health conference in Scotland, the call was made to the Scottish and UK governments to introduce new measures to curb binge drinking, anti-social behavior and to tackle Scotland’s increasing alcohol-related health problems.
Scotland has one of the fastest growing chronic liver disease rates in the world, and one in three divorces is linked to alcohol problems. Sixty five thousand children are estimated to be living with parents with alcohol problems.
Dr. Emilia Crighton said “one in 20 deaths in Scotland is attributable to alcohol. There is an overwhelming case that cheap drink damages Scotland’s health record. As prices have dropped, consumption has risen.”
