The number of people in the UK dying from alcohol-related problems is continuing to rise.
Office for National Statistics figures show there were 13.4 alcohol-related deaths per 100,000 population in 2006 - up from 12.9 in 2005.
The mortality rate in men (18.3/100,000) was more than twice the rate for females (8.8/100,000).
The overall death rate has almost doubled from 6.9 deaths per 100,000 people in 1991.
