Britons are in denial over the impact that drinking too much has on their health, according to new research.

Just 12% of adults have worried about the effects of drinking too much on their health in the last three months, according to Legal & General. Despite alcohol-related deaths almost doubling in the last 15 years, men and women are more concerned about lack of exercise and sleep and too much stress.

As we've had the smoking discussion heres the alcohol one, as someone that has lived with an alcoholic i know the dangers & harm it does to the person & people around them, also the effects on crime & violence - Drink being the biggest blame & in cases excuse.

Is our culture getting worse due to pressure of modern life ??? or is it a cop out with our society accepting binge drinking thats getting out of control - not just on about the social night out per week
