Some important work from @InstAlcStud updating our very out of date estimates of the societal cost of alcohol in England.
Also features a very handy breakdown by Local Authority, if you're into that sort of thing.
Alcohol harm in England costs £27.4 billion every year.
In the first analysis of its kind in over 20 years, figures show there has been over a 40% increase in the cost of harm from alcohol.
Visit ias.org.uk/factsheet/economy… for the full cost breakdown in England
