And that can go up to 40% in the early hours of the weekend.

So that, you know, and then the hospital is over overstretched, emergency department is overburdened and alcohol is causing a lot of that.

And in Ireland, we don't have, whereas they have elsewhere, things called alcohol care teams, where basically you have alcohol specialists that can come down, keep people out of the hospital resource community to help people not end up in the emergency department with harms from alcohol.

It's very much the health care budget, 10 to 15 percent is spent on alcohol harms.

But yet that money is not placed into resourcing teams that can help people with alcohol, teams that can prevent admissions and help the hospital.

So I think this is very, I'm very much welcome these reports to help, you know, advocate for resources in this area.
