The middle class people over the age of 45 are now the most frequent drinkers in England, new NHS figures show.
Middle aged people who are on high incomes are the most likely to drink five or more nights a week, according to the statistics.
The findings add to growing concern over middle class drinkers and the damage their habits are doing to their bodies.
Earlier this year a report by the National Audit Office, the Government watchdog, warned that 10 million Britons were now drinking to "hazardous" levels. . . . . .
