BRITONS ADVISED NOT TO DRINK

Britons have been warned there is no such thing as a safe level of alcohol consumption, in the country's toughest drinking guidelines ever.

The guidance comes from new research suggesting any amount of drinking increases the risk of cancer.

Chief Medical Officer for England, Sally Davies, denies she's scaremongering.
