UK sees biggest fall in drinking for 60 years
The UK has seen its biggest fall in alcohol consumption in 60 years, according to new figures from an industry body.
The British Beer and Pub Association said 2009 saw the sharpest year-on-year decline in alcohol consumption since 1948.
The figures are compiled primarily from HM Revenue and Customs data and follows recent data from the Office of National Statistics which found 39 per cent of men and 31 per cent of women still exceed the daily guidelines on how much they should drink.
