The most dangerous place to drink in the UK has been revealed as Blackpool.

New figures, released by Labour MP Liam Byrne, shows around 1,230.5 people per 1,000 ended up in hospital after a night drinking in the stag and hen party town.

Over the last year, hospitals in the area dealt with 1,720 admissions as a result of drinking – equivalent to five every day.

Next on the list was Stoke-on-Trent, which had 82.5 per 100,000 admissions to medical facilities for drinking.

“Booze abuse costs Britain a staggering £21 billion a year. These shocking figures expose just where our problem's biggest,” Mr Bryne told The Sun.

He emphasised the figures needed to be addressed and called on council and health chiefs to have “proper plans” in place to help problem drinkers.

Only one London borough made the top 50 list. Islington, with 800.8 admissions per 1,000 came in at 31st place.

Alcohol misuse costs the NHS around £3.5bn every year, with an estimated nine million British people drinking more than their recommended daily allowance regularly, according to the charity Alcohol Concern.
