‘Seek help on drink issues’

AN EXPERT on alcohol in Edinburgh has urged people not to be afraid to seek help on alcohol addiction, regardless of their social class or lifestyle.

Jonathan Chick, a professor at Queen Margaret University, said with Alcohol Awareness Week having just passed, now is the perfect time for people to face up to their intake.

He said: “Every single death from alcohol is a tragedy. We hope people will take the opportunity this year to either seek help for themselves or get the help they need for a friend or family member they are worried about.”
