Increasing awareness about the dangers of binge drinking is causing people from the Midlands to drink less.

It means that people from rural Ireland are now drinking as much than people living in urban areas.
Communication and Marketing manager with Drink Aware, Miriam Taber, says there's numerous reasons for this change:
