Drinking heavily is disproportionately harmful for the poorest in society, with a greater risk of dying or becoming ill due to alcohol consumption.

A new study, published today in The Lancet Public Health and led by the University of Glasgow has found that there is a marked link between socioeconomic status and the harm caused by drinking alcohol excessively.

Here comes Alcohol, here comes Alcohol
right down Alcohol Lane
Alcohol knows if your sleeping, it knows when your awake
it knows if you've been rich or poor
so be rich for goodness sake!
