UK alcohol deaths hit new record
7 Dec, 2021 15:59

The UK has seen its highest yearly increase in the number of deaths directly related to alcohol consumption, new government figures show, with the somber record reached in 2020 amid the pandemic.
According to new figures released by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) on Tuesday, 8,974 deaths “from alcohol-specific causes” were registered in the UK in 2020. The figure represents an 18.6% increase in deaths of that category compared with 2019, and is the highest such year-on-year increase since the data began being tracked in 2001, the ONS said.
The data shows that between 2012 and 2019, the number of alcohol-specific deaths remained stable, but last year saw a “statistically significant increase”.


While Scotland and Ireland had the highest mortality, at 21.5 and 19.6 deaths per 100,000 people respectively, all four UK nations saw an increase in rates of alcohol-specific deaths.

Almost 78% of such deaths were caused by alcoholic liver disease, the statistics body said.

The ONS underlined that as there are “many complex factors” to analyze when considering the data, and said it is still too early to jump to conclusions about possible connections between the pandemic and the increase in alcohol-related deaths.

However, it also referred to Public Health England data showing that consumption patterns have changed during the pandemic, with alcohol being “a contributing factor to hospital admissions and deaths”.

The Alcohol Change charity last month raised concern over alcohol consumption amid the stresses of the Covid pandemic. The organization said that “research consistently shows that the coronavirus pandemic has created conditions for more people to drink more heavily and more often than usual”.

Wait for another 20-30 years. It will be crippling for the health service once the binge drinking generation get old.

He is just another Russian sitting with a false flag in Poland.

Given the sources he quotes; he convinently ignores the fact that Russians have the 2nd highest alcoholism % population density after Belarouse. Uk is far far lower. Hence, RT should state facts about alcohol deaths internally first not to mention how many die from methanol laced home brew every year.

You said that Putin allegedly make a statement of cutting every muslim man's d..k but you still can't provide evidence. Now you are embarrassing yourself again with your lies that "Russians have the 2nd highest alcoholism % population density after Belarouse. Uk is far far lower"

@denel where did you found information that "Russians have the 2nd highest alcoholism % population density after Belarouse" ??

This is total alcohol consumption per capita (liters of pure alcohol, projected estimates, 15+ years of age) from https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.ALC.PCAP.LI?most_recent_value_desc=true

Alcohol consumption in the so called "United Kingdom" is higher than in Russia.

I'm least surprised, with Bars, Clubs. Restaurants closed, all you saw last year was people sitting in the parks and gardens, having BBQs and drinking like there's no tomarrow. There was no shortages of food stuff in supermarkets but the Beer and Spirit shelves were always empty.

So evidence matters to you now? I have removed his posts - they were in poor taste. You can be irritating yourself, however. You need to improve your posts. Heed my advice.

Well that is a social problem in their society.

Alcohol is a leading cause of death, traffic accidents, and fetal alcohol syndrome.

Evidence always matter for me. In this thread I posted 2 sources, denel posted none.
