Lincoln — city of artists
Of course, when I say ‘artists’, what I really mean is ‘piss-artists’.
According to research carried out by Liverpool John Moore’s University, using data from both the NHS and the police, and reported in today’s Lincolnshire Echo.
- More men drink themselves to death in Lincoln than anywhere else in the East Midlands.
- Lincoln has the highest levels of binge-drinking out of the 40 local authorities in the region.
- Lincoln is in the top five local authorities in categories including alcohol related hospital admissions and violent crime.
Worryingly, the Echo also says that “even more alcohol-fuelled incidents are expected to blight the city centre in the run-up to Christmas”.
