Royal British Healthcare Organization claimed that in the UK the number of people, who have been treated from illnesses caused by alcohol consumption, has doubled during the last 10 years. As an average a British drinks an equivalent of 9.6 liters of pure alcohol per year, whereas even in Russian, the country which is supposed to be the most 'drinking' country in the world, the average number is 8.7 liters. Last year healthcare institutions registered 280,000 people treating from alcohol related illnesses. This statistics included not only liver and kidney diseases, which are most common by the alcohol consuming people, but also injuries received when under the effect of alcohol.
