Royal College of Nursing responds to new ONS alcohol statistics, UK
Commenting on statistics published recently which show that over a third of adults exceed the daily limits for regular drinking, Dr Peter Carter, Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Chief Executive & General Secretary, said:
"It is concerning to see that excessive drinking continues to be a widespread problem despite increasing awareness about its health implications.
"This adds to the growing body of evidence that self-regulation by the drinks industry isn't working. We need more effective regulation that ensures retailers don't engage in unscrupulous practices which encourage customers to drink to excess.
"Alcohol misuse is an issue that nurses deal with first hand everyday and is a major social concern. Nurses know that alcohol labelling, sales and advertising need to be properly regulated. This must be combined with campaigns that educate the public about the dangers of binge drinking."
