Soap operas including Coronation Street and EastEnders have been criticised for regularly showing characters drinking but rarely showing them hungover.
Research published by the charity Drinkaware found alcohol features in more than a third (38%) of soap airtime.
They monitored four shows - Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks - over six weeks and found 383 scenes where characters drank alcohol but only 12 that showed them hungover.
