Party Vibe

This is our parents/grandparents age group.. doesn’t surprise me, most probably because they can “handle their drink” (i.e have learned not to fight or be blatantly anti social in public whilst drinking even more) so they aren’t scrutinised as closely as younger people, at least until they get involved in nasty domestic violence (the level of this between old people is also hushed up a bit)

More NHS money is spent treating alcohol-related illness in baby boomers than young people, a study says.

The Alcohol Concern report found the cost of hospital admissions linked to heavy drinking 55 to 74-year-olds in 2010-11 was more than £825m.

That was 10 times the figure for 16 to 24-year-olds.

In total, nearly £2bn was spent on alcohol-related in-patient admissions in England, the report found.
