=== Britain and alcoholism ===
The Telegraph reported in 2013 in a news story titled ''Britain has a drinking problem, and it needs help'':
{{cquote|The cost to the NHS of alcohol is £3.5 billion a year. Though we spend this fortune on the consequences of excessive drinking, we spend a relative pittance on the causes – £91 million on treatment, compared with £2 billion for treatment of problem drug-users. Yet there are estimated to be 1.6 million problem drinkers in England, over five times more than there are dangerous drug-users. I do not underestimate the dangers of drugs, but anyone who has sat in a courtroom knows that alcohol is the bigger problem, spilling into domestic violence, family breakdown and street disorder.<ref>[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/10309607/Britain-has-a-drinking-problem-and-it-needs-help.html Britain has a drinking problem, and it needs help], The Telegraph, By Alastair Campbell, 5:41PM BST 14 Sep 2013</ref>}}
