The Nolan Show can reveal that in the last 2 years, over 4,400 people across Northern Ireland had to be admitted to hospital “due to alcohol intoxication”.

Stephen spoke to John Compton - former chief executive of the Health and Social Care Board, as well as Commentators Bumper Graham and Frank Shivers.
