A global drug survey has shown that UK drinkers get drunk more often than anywhere else in the world.

The results showed that English-speaking countries were in the lead for how often their citizens get drunk, as the US, Canada and Australia also found themselves at the top of the global rankings.

Researchers based in London conducted the survey last year, claiming it to be the largest in the world, and said while fewer people are drinking, those who consume alcohol are doing so in a potentially harmful way.
