So what’s the problem?
Binge drinking is a serious problem, not a
fringe issue.
Dependency?
Don’t worry though, because...
The majority of people who drink do so in
a responsible manner.

National Message
• Services have been slow to react to problems
associated with alcohol misuse.
– 1 in 5 (2.5 million) children live with at least 1
increasing risk drinker.
– 26,000 babies living with a dependent drinking
parent
(Silent Voices 2012)
– Locally alcohol misuse features highly in cases
discussed at MARAC.

Identification and referral

• Misconception that it takes a long time to get
into alcohol treatment
• Lack of time
• Reluctance to be referred
• Problems with identification
• Asking the wrong questions
