The results came along with a new study by the Department of Health that found lifestyle diseases are on the rise in stunning rates.
In fact, the study found that deaths that are caused by liver disease in England are not only increasing, but are above the average across Europe.

According to the former study, conducted by the British Liver Trust, the most popular drink among the women surveyed was wine, although 66% of those surveyed could not name how many units of wine were in one glass.  Traditionally, a 250ml glass of wine will have three units of alcohol although the figure can vary by strength.

Chief executive of the British Liver Trust, Alison Rogers, stated that the survey offered evidence to what the Trust already believed was true, that most people in the key age group are unaware of the units of alcohol that they consume on a regular basis.  Rogers also stated that as supermarkets encourage bulk purchasing one of ten respondents do not allow their liver a day off from drinking.

She added that it is at least safe to state that most women over the age of 35 are still part of the ‘binge drinking’ scene although a few do still pertain in the culture.
