📢 In the news! EASL is proud to highlight the recent BBC article featuring our Vice-Secretary, Prof @DebbieShawcros1. The article discusses the alarming rise in alcohol-related liver disease among women under 40. The piece follows BBC journalist Hazel Martin's personal journey, shedding light on how binge-drinking culture and misconceptions about "safe" drinking levels are driving this trend. Hazel’s story reveals the urgent need for awareness and action to prevent more people from facing devastating health consequences. Talking to doctors, patients and experts on the drinks industry, Hazel discovers that a key cause is Britain’s binge-drinking culture and explores what can be done about it. At EASL, we are committed to advocating for education, research, and policies that address the root causes of liver disease.
