    UK is Europe's 'addictions capital', says think tank

    BBC News - UK is Europe's 'addictions capital', says think tank

    I wish you lot would sober up.

    The report said that almost a third of people in England on drug-substitute prescriptions such as methadone have been on them for four or more years, and one in 25 for more than 10 years.

    The CSJ found alcohol dependence among British men was second in western Europe and seventh overall, while alcohol dependence among women is higher in the UK than anywhere in Europe.

    One in four adults in England drank to harmful levels, and one in 20 were "dependent drinkers", it said.

    The report also found a stark north-south divide in the problem of alcohol abuse, with 26 of the 30 local authorities with the highest rate of alcohol-related admissions in the north of the country.
