In 2020, alcohol-related deaths increased by 20% compared to the previous year, and was the highest annual number since records began in 2001.

It covers subjects such as unit strengths of different types of alcohol, the effects of alcohol misuse, health issues associated with alcohol, withdrawing from alcohol, and where to find help and support to stop drinking.
