Alcoholics Anonymous
 After smoking, alcoholism kills more people in the UK than any other drug. One adult in 13 is dependant on drink, according to Government statistics.
33,000 people die each year due to alcohol-related incidents or associated health problems. Alcohol is involved in 15% of road accidents, 26% of drownings, and 36% of deaths in fires. A quarter of accidents at work are drink-related.
What is the best way to get A.A. help for a problem drinker?
By far the best way to get help is to give them the A.A. telephone number (0845 7697 555) or to call the number while the patient or client is with you and hand them the phone.
The A.A. telephone helpline is manned by A.A. members with at least one year's sobriety who will offer to arrange for a member to contact them to take them to a local meeting.
