Big Drink Debate

"Nine in ten people (93%) in the east of England drink alcohol at least once or twice a year and nearly six in ten (59%) drink alcohol every week, with one in ten (10%) drinking every day of the week.

Our survey of nearly 7,000 people showed that nearly a quarter of people in the east of England exceed the recommended limits.

One in four men (27%) and one in five women (21%) are exceeding the weekly limits. With 7% of men and 4% of women drinking at high risk levels, that is over 50 units a week for men and 35 units per week for women." (Mori, 2009)
