Concerns are being raised about the impact ‘Dial A Drink’ services are having in Ireland.
The service allows for customers to get alcohol delivered to them over the phone.
Research shows 88 people die from alcohol related problems in Ireland every month.
Alcohol accounts for almost 4% of deaths in Ireland every year and statistics from the Health Research Board show liver disease rates are increasing rapidly – particularly among 15 to 34 year olds.
Alcohol is also a factor in half of suicides in Ireland and a third of cases of self-harm.
