New Photography Exhibition: Peter Dench, Drink UK

Britain has become a nation of binge drinkers. The statistics are alarming – 121% more alcohol is being consumed than 50 years ago. The British are drinking younger, longer, faster and more cheaply than ever before. Binge drinking followed by public order problems are becoming increasingly common in towns and cities.
