Alcohol is fuelling a surge in liver cancer, particularly in men, a new report has warned.
Harmful drinking is contributing to the 300pc rise in people diagnosed with liver cancer over 20 years, according to the National Cancer Registry.
The toll has seen the number of cases rise from 60 per year in the mid-1990s to 270 in both 2013 and 2014.
It comes amid ongoing unease among public health experts about Government plans to end the ban on the sale of alcohol on Good Friday.
The latest report is a stark reminder of the impact of alcohol-related disease as the nation's drinking patterns changed over the years.
