Recession has many evil impacts on the lifestyle of people all around the world. However the Brit people are experiencing some hazardous effects of recession. Recession-hit Britons are increasingly turning to booze and fags to beat the economic blues.

More and more stressed-out adults in the country are compromising on their health as they are guzzling more alcohol and puffing on more cigarettes than they did before the crunch hit. In a desperate bid to save cash on weekly bills, cash-strapped families are switching from healthy fruit 'n' veggies to cheap junk food. Organic grub sales were down by a whopping 23.7 per cent.

It's worrying that people are choosing wealth over health in the recession. The nation is becoming unhealthier because there is a misconception that healthy foods are more expensive than snacks. Families are also stocking up on ready meals because they have stopped eating out as the credit crunch bites.

People seem to be opting for more nights in over spending time in the pub. The popularity of ready meals is soaring as people try to recreate that Friday night atmosphere at home.

The survey by mysupermarket.com, which monitors online sales at Britain's major supermarkets, has recorded this worrying surge in unhealthy lifestyles.
