Louis Theroux spends time at King’s College Hospital in London, a specialist liver centre, where he immerses himself in the lives of patients in the grips of alcohol addiction and the medical staff trying to make them better.

Alcohol addiction is the most common addiction in the UK. Many people drink more than they should, but the patients Louis meets at King’s are drinking far more than normal, sometimes to the point of self-destruction. Louis explores the effects this is having on their lives and the consequences for their loved ones, when drinking loses its social aspect and becomes a potentially fatal compulsion.

There are many reasons why people become addicted to alcohol and Louis looks at why it is impossible for some to stop drinking - even when it is killing them. To outsiders it may seem like an easy decision, but it is nowhere near that simple. Louis spends time with patients and their families as they struggle to find a way out of their addiction to alcohol, before it's too late.
