Latest research shows the Isle of Man faces broadly similar alcohol misuse levels to the United Kingdom, but two significant groups stand out as needing particular help.
Next month the Island's Alcohol Advisory Service will be hosting a public seminar on drinking problems, which will look further at ways of reducing alcohol consumption.

2018 immigration changes 'stripped away safeguards', says advocate
Changes made to skilled worker route criticised at public meeting
Mountain Road closure to be reassessed at 12pm
Route shut last night due to snow and ice
Extradition law bill completes passage through Legislative Council
Proposals hope to create 'clear, transparent and locally operated system'
Western Civic Amenity Site says its 'strengthened' financial procedures
It comes after criminal charges were brought against a former staff member
