Binge Drinking Research Paper

Binge drinking can have a major effect on the cost binge drinking can have on the National Health Service, and by having a binge drinking health promotion it will be beneficial at cutting down binge drinking rates and the costs that are spent on people that cause injury to themselves due to binge drinking. A report found that in 2009/10 in England, 1,057,000 admissions to hospitals were alcohol related, this is an increase of 12 % from the year before in 2008. Out of the many people 63% of these people were men that is over half of the whole amount of admissions (NHS, 2011). For every person that goes into hospital a certain amount of money is spent even if they are only being tested over to make sure they are okay, they are not only wasting
time that they could be spending on people that have cancer or people that are dying, they are also wasting valuable resources that costs money which that money could be spent on more technology for things like cancer treatment. By having a healthy promotion, this could help to reduce costs to the NHS and thus, reduce the public health issue of binge drinking.
