PM - Alcohol. Thursday's report.
When people talk about alcohol problems in Britain, they often look favourably at France, and their apparently more refined drinking culture.

Over the last twenty years, the amount of alcohol that's drunk in France has been falling - but according to French Alcoholics Annoymous there are still around 3 million alcoholics living in the country with perhaps as many as 10 million people who have a borderline alcohol addiction.

Reporting for PM, our Paris Correspondent Emma Jane Kirby.
