A night out, a holiday, and someone else's wedding day are among the top occasions when Brits are most likely to enjoy an alcoholic tipple, a study has found.

The poll of 2,000 adults who drink found that one in six (17%) admitted they feel they are the best version of themselves when drinking alcohol – with half (49%) feeling they need it before a social event, to boost confidence.
