Interesting par in a story about Hull being a "booze problem area" in today's Hull Daily Mail:
"Hull has been rated as one of the worst places in the country for alcohol-related hospital admissions caused by alcohol."
Caused by alcohol? Yes, that'd make sense. But the numbers don't stack up when you read on:
"Last year more than 700 people in the city were admitted due to drinking.
"Nationally there were more than 863,257 alcohol-related admissions to hospital in England in 2007/8." I'll let you do the math but that doesn't suggest that this "booze problem area" is the biggest offender.
