[In brief] England’s men cut hazardous drinking since 2000 | NHS

10th November 2016 by philcain

hazardous-and-dependentThe rate of potentially harmful “hazardous drinking” among men in England has fallen by almost a quarter in the last 15 years. The percentage drinking at this level fell from 37% in 2000 to 28% in 2014 (see chart). The rate among women remained stable at just under 15%. Overall, levels of harmful and dependent drinking—the latter involving a range of physical and psychological symptoms—also remained stable, though becoming less common among 16 to 24 year olds and more common among 55 to 64 year olds. ■
