to alcohol could rise more than a third by 2015, according to a report and may have implications for people considering taking out a life insurance policy.
The research by Alcohol Concern revealed that the number of people admitted for alcohol misuse is set to hit 1.5 million annually without a far-reaching strategy to address it from the government.
The number of admissions in England due to alcohol misuse was 1.1 million in 2009/10, a 100 per cent rise since 2002/03, the study says.
“If the rise continues unchecked, by the end of the current Parliament a staggering 1.5 million people will be admitted to hospital every year as a result of drinking.”
In the past 60 years, the average alcohol intake per person per year has risen across the UK, from five litres in the 1950s to more than 11 litres in 2007 which had a bad impact while trying to achieve the best low cost life insurance.
More than 10 million adults in England now drink more than the recommended daily limit, with 2.6 million drinking more than twice that, according to researchers.
The report adds: “There has also been a dramatic rise in drinking among women, with heavy drinking increasing by almost a third in the decade prior to 2008.”
As well as health problems linked with alcohol, the report points to “damage” echoing throughout society, contributing to 1.2 million incidents of violent crime a year, 40 per cent of domestic violence cases and 6 per cent of all road casualties.
The report says the cost to the NHS in England will rise from £2.7 billion a year to £3.7 billion unless steps are taken to deal with alcohol abuse trying to achieve the best low cost life insurance.
The £2.7 billion is already roughly twice the equivalent figure for 2001.
