This is why I'm *really* worried about the record high alcohol-specific deaths figures that ONS published yesterday.
We modelled the impact of increases in drinking during the pandemic on health, and what's happened is much worse than our worst case scenario (those dots😬).
Last call for this seminar on all things alcohol-free and low-alcohol drinks which is ***Wednesday this week (24th)***
