Twice as many of us die from alcohol abuse than in England - that’s if we aren’t murdered first. Half a million of us have coronary heart disease, according to CHASS - one of the highest rates in the world. Diseases like multiple sclerosis are off the scale. Two thirds of us are overweight or obese.
