How do we curb Scotland's addiction to alcohol?

A new study says more people in Scotland are drinking to binge levels than previously estimated. So how do we change our attitude to booze? Should we increase the price of stronger drinks? Or are the publicans to blame for our binge culture?

Plus: How are you coping with the rising cost of fuel?

With petrol 18 per cent more expensive than a year ago, lorry drivers around the country are staging protests. How have the rising prices hit your pocket - in your daily commute, for those essential journeys, or in the bills that come through your door? The Prime Minister Gordon Brown is under pressure to freeze a planned rise in the cost of fuel duty and changes to the road tax system. So how much will the cost of motoring have to rise before you're priced out of your car?

Gary Robertson takes your calls, texts and emails.
