'I have ended up in hospital because of alcohol so many times'

Morgan started drinking when she was 14.

"I tried anything and everything just to see what it was like. I ended up in hospital so many times. It was awful," she tells Newsbeat.

A new report suggests A&E visits due to alcohol poisoning have doubled in the past six years, with young women like Morgan the most likely to be affected.

She's 25 now but gave up alcohol after her 19th birthday.

Morgan thinks she went to hospital five times because of booze.

"It got to the point where the doctors were like, 'Why are you drinking? You keep ending up in hospital. It's doing your health in, it's not very good at all.'

"I think my first time was the most horrendous. I had half a bottle of vodka.

"I'd only just come out of an operation as well. So it was definitely not the right choice.

"But I think it was because I was 14 I thought, 'Oh I'll be fine,' and the next day I wasn't."

She says her dad had to pick her up and take her to hospital.

"I was in a state. It was a mess," she remembers.

"I kept on ending up in hospital, being on the drip. It didn't make me feel good.

The tipping point came after celebrating her 19th birthday.

Morgan says she didn't feel the effects of alcohol poisoning until the following day.

"I was being sick every 10 seconds. I couldn't stand, I couldn't eat, I couldn't drink anything.

"I had to get my own sister to drag me out of bed and take me to the hospital. I just had no strength. I don't know why I kept doing it.

"The doctors said I needed to stop drinking because it was affecting my health."

She says she was told she would have died if she carried on drinking like she did.

"So I just thought, 'Why keep doing it? What's the point?'"

She says she misses alcohol on "some days".

"But I think, 'I'm so glad I'm out of that stage of trying different [types of] alcohol and feeling awful the next day.'

"I have work [now], I can't take time off, I need to be responsible, I need to look after myself.

"I don't want to get into that state. My family's been through enough.

"It's not worth it at the end of the day."
