The battle to beat alcoholism // TRAIN BRAIN

The battle to beat alcoholism

It was one of the predicted impacts of the pandemic - an increase in people turning to alcohol and those already dependent, drinking more.
And today, that is now visible in new statistics, with alcohol-specific deaths rising above 10,000 a year for the first time.
The 2022 data, published by the Office for National Statistics, shows deaths in the UK up a third from 2019, the last pre-Covid year.
Over the last six months Channel 4 News has had access to a rehabilitation centre in South London, meeting those battling to beat alcoholism.
