Christmas time is a holiday that heavily features alcohol - but celebrators are being urged to monitor their habits as certain "red flag" signs can indicate a functioning alcoholic.
It is understandable to partake in a drink over the festive period or raise a glass on New Year's Eve. But new research has revealed that a lot of drinkers are sipping more than they should be.
Findings, shared by private rehab clinic Delamere, show that nearly two thirds of Brits binge drink over the festive period. The experts examined spending habits on alcohol during each week of the holiday.
