I think certainly in A&E and GPs it could be a problem but just in terms of cost and pressure elsewhere on the system I doubt it accounts for much. A&E seems to have a lot of issues that arise from binge drinking.
As for the idea of allowing people to die that's a whole other interesting topic that could go on for a while....
