The one thing I agree with is that there maybe should be a separate part of the hospital to deal with drink and drugs related admissions to casualty. Unless someone really wants help to get sorted out then only minimal resources as to drugs and drink should be allotted to them at that time.

However,a lot of people in casualty are there because they too have abused their bodies or allow themselves to be in danger , whether it's not eating enough so ending up unconscious, or eating way too much and suffering heart complaints or because of some family domestic violence resulting in injuries and also very heavy smokers who end up with serious breathing problems.

It is not just the drinks and drugs element that causes the problems in casualty depts.
