Hi ! I have been reading your blog regularly for awhile now. Being in the health sector back in my country and now, being new to this country as a student, your blog has given me a good perspective of one sector of the health services. It also gives a wondeful perspective of the city too. I wonder if you saw this article in the Observer this weekend which gives an overview of the rising problem (and the antecedents) with alcohol consumption in the UK. Your blog confirms what they say. Ciao!
