"Nick Gully, the director of addiction services at the Priory Clinic in Roehampton, where numerous celebrities have been treated, said the relaxation of licensing laws had "normalised" excess drinking and would lead to more people becoming dependent on alcohol.
"The size of measures and glasses have grown in recent years,"Mr Gully said.
"People have become used to these outsized glasses. They fill them up and believe it's OK because they are only having one glass, but that can now amount to a third of a bottle. If they have a small glass, they feel cheated.
"It's the same in pubs. Someone goes to a bar and feels cheated if they are given a small glass."
He's been dealing with too many celebrities. Real people know that a big glass is likely to hold more booze than a small glass.
