A rise in alcohol abuse, including binge drinking, is fuelling a worrying increase in liver disease at a younger age.
The rate of death and illness due to liver disease in all age groups has soared by 190pc in just 13 years, with a particular rise in younger age groups.
The grim toll our booze culture is taking on health is revealed by Health Research Board researchers in the journal 'Alcohol and Alcoholism'.
