  • 37% of ambulance time is spent on alcohol-related incidents.
  • Alcohol harm costs NHS England at least £4.2 billion annually.
  • It is cheaper for a family to buy a 2litre bottle of cider than orange juice in some supermarkets.

Join us and ask your MP to write to the Chancellor to take action on cheap, harmful alcohol at the upcoming Spring Budget.
