Episode image for Ready Steady Drink

Duration: 1 hour

Inbetweeners star Emily Atack takes a look at the culture of drinking games and 'speed-drinking' in the UK, the consequences it can have and what is being done to tackle some of these problems.

On her travels Emily meets people who love to pre-drink and others who take drinking games to the extreme - including a group of vodka eyeballers - in order to try and find out why we drink so quickly in this country.

Emily also sees first hand the dangerous effects such drinking can have by joining the London Booze Bus paramedic team and spending a night in the new Alcohol Recovery Centre.

Part of the Dangerous Pleasures season on BBC3.
