" Sensible drinking campaigns focus too heavily upon teenagers and neglect over 50&amp;#039;s drinking at home, according to some of the UK&amp;#039;s top doctors.  The Royal College of Physicians argues that government drives to promote sensible drinking are too focussed on underage drinkers and young people as a large section of older groups drink heavily, albeit in the privacy of their own homes.  Speaking to the BBC, Professor Ian Gilmore warned of the health problems associated with drinking.  &amp;quot;Quite large sections of the population are drinking quite heavily on a regular basis,&amp;quot; the head of the college said.  He added: &amp;quot;One of the great sadnesses is that patients often don&amp;#039;t get a warning before serious liver damage sets in.&amp;quot;  Recent research has shown that 77.4 per cent of Britons consume alcohol in their homes compared to only 44.5 per cent of Spaniards.  The research by Mintel also showed that Britons drink more at home than residents of France and Germany, where around two thirds enjoy a drink in their own home. \u00A9 Adfero Ltd "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
