Thirsty Scottish mum spends £3,000-a-year downing 20 cans of Irn-Bru every day

A mum has told how she had to resort to hypnotism to kick her £3,000-a-year Irn-Bru habit.

Carole Lamond, 57, used to down 20 cans of the fizzy drink every single day for 25 years. She first became hooked on the Scottish favourite when just a wee girl.

After leaving school, she went on to become a HR manager, moving to London from Scotland before returning to her homeland. She started off by swigging several cans of Irn-Bru a day and then her consumption escalated during the Covid lockdown.
