The ALCulator
Alcohol is Britain's favourite vice. Every year we drink our way through £35.3 billion worth of booze. This means we're each spending an average of £770 every year enjoying our tipple.
While your hangover may be a distant memory after a good night's sleep, some organs, such as your liver aren't so quick to recover.
As part of our Neighbourhood Health Watch campaign, which is bringing people with similar health goals together to tackle them collectively, we decided to get to the bottom of the issue and expose the harsh truth about the nation's drinking habits.
Use the Lloydspharmacy ALCulator to find out how much alcohol you will consume over your lifetime. If you dare.

The Ageing Effects of Alcohol
For some of us it is easy to ignore the damage that excessive alcohol consumption is doing to our insides. But other long-term effects of drinking such as premature ageing is, quite literally, in your face. We took to the streets of Birmingham recently and offered 'make-unders' to people to show how alcohol can affect their looks. It wasn't a pretty sight.
