Doctors in Britian pushed goverment to increase the prices of alcohol which saves thousands of young lives, including addicted drinkers.

In a letter to the Daily Telegraph, signed by the Royal College of Physicians and the British Medical Association among others, a total of 19 experts said there was an "urgent need" to raise the prices of cheap alcohol.

The letter said "There is a wealth of evidence to show a direct correlation between alcohol affordability and levels of harm,"

"We urgently need to raise the price of cheap drink. Harmful drinkers and young people are likely to be the most responsive to price increases," Sky News quoted the letter as saying.

The doctors said more than a million people in Britain are admitted to hospital every year because of alcohol-linked problems.

Doctors mentioned, one in four deaths among the young people who are aged of 15 to 24 was also affiliated with drinking.
