Changing for the better
Many of these places are trying to change these stats and reduce the danger alcohol poses to ourselves and others. Alcohol can be fun, but with some moderation!

One of the main centres of textile manufacture – and more recently renowned for its curry – Bradford is also making a name for its alcohol consumption.

There’s been a rise in alcohol-related admissions to hospital, and the stats are some of the highest in the region. Maybe stick to curry and wool!

Around 20% of the population also don’t drink at all, which means Blackburn has one of the highest proportion of non-drinkers in the North-West! You go Blackburn!
43. Knowsley
It doesn’t look like a drinking hotspot! However, this Merseyside borough is consuming a lot of alcohol. Around 25% of the population drink more than the recommended units.
