Article: Twice as many seek help for alcohol problems
Twice as many people as last year have asked for help with drink problems through the Nottingham Alcohol Problems Advisory Service (Apas).
Apas logged 184 calls from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day - double the previous year's figure of 91, the Nottingham Evening Post reports.
Nick Tegerdine, executive director of Apas, said: "There's more alcohol being consumed, as it is cheaper and stronger and easier to get.
"More people drinking and more alcohol equals more problems."
Between December 27th and New Year's Eve 70 per cent of calls were from people worried about the drinking habits of friends and family members.
Mr Tegerdine said calls included the brother of a man who could not stop vomiting after drinking too much, and a woman seeking advice because her partner became abusive after four pints of beer.
