Drinking at home has become a problem in and around Yorkshire in the North of England, but alcohol knows no barriers it has entered the homes of lawyers, doctors, bankers and many more professionals. In other words if you embrace alcohol you will soon find a receptive booze supplier, alcohol will never fail to deliver that ‘just one more drink’ and now many rural areas of Yorkshire are beset with people with ‘drink problems’ and alcoholism.

The increase of home drinking has increased alarmingly in recent years and to combat the problem many new alcohol detoxification and rehabilitation centers have opened in Leeds and Harrogate and many other cities and towns in Yorkshire.

Drinking at home has now elevated into a social problem too, as homes break up, children are living with dysfunctional parents, police have to address more DUI driving offences, more visits to the doctor with alcohol induced illnesses. The knock on affects of drink are endless.

The alcohol abuse problem has also impacted on monetary issues and the NHS National Health Service spends a massive £2.7 Billion UK Pounds - $4.6 Billion US Dollars a year treating alcohol related conditions.

Official drink problem reference to drinking at home in Yorkshire – quote - Yorkshire now has the highest proportion of people deemed to be “increased-risk drinking” – people who regularly drink to excess at home – in the country, with the problem particularly severe in North Yorkshire where six of its eight local authority areas are in the bottom 25 of all 326 in England rated for the problem. – more - The spa town of Harrogate is ranked second from bottom in the country.

Somewhat surprised to see these alcohol problems in Yorkshire as this is one of the most beautiful counties in UK with lots of outdoor activity opportunities – sports – walking in the Dales, Spa towns and places of interest like the walled city of York, great shopping centers like Leeds and Sheffield and so much more!

But as we have said before Alcohol can break down any barrier in the relentless pursuit of converting social drinkers into alcoholics!
