This indicator shows the percentage of people aged 18 years and older who reported having more than two drinks per day on average (for men) or more than one drink per day on average (for women) or who drank 5 or more drinks during a single occasion (for men) or 4 or more drinks during a single occasion (for women) during the past 30 days.
Why is this important?
Excessive drinking is associated with significant increases in short- and long-term risks to health and safety. Furthermore, the risk increases as the amount of drinking increases. Excessive alcohol consumption increases the risk for sexual dysfunction, reproductive problems, liver disease, and certain types of cancer. Alcohol abuse is associated with a variety of negative health and safety outcomes including alcohol-related traffic accidents and other injuries, employment problems, legal difficulties, financial loss, family disputes and other interpersonal issues.
