A spokesman for an opposition party saidthat it was more important to deal with peoples’ attitudes and not just the price of alcohol.The Portman Group, set up by drinks manufacturers to promote sensible drinking, arguesthat it would damage the majority of drinkers who behave responsibly in terms of theirconsumption.The NHS bill for alcohol abuse is an estimated £2.7bn a year. Recent figures showhospital admissions linked to alcohol use have more than doubled in England since 1995.Alcohol was the main or secondary cause of 207,800 NHS admissions in 2006/7,compared to 93,500 in 1995/96.
