Alcohol

The rate of drug and alcohol death in the UK continues to increase and there has been a marked rise in the last few years. Alcohol is still the most popular drug used by the British public and, as you would know, is available widely. A survey done on 11-to-15-year-olds in the UK found that 26% had drunk in the last week with the average amount of alcohol drunk by the group being 12.7 unit, approximately ten units. There is also a worrying increase in alcohol-related deaths in the UK. This rose to 13.4 deaths per 100,000 population. To put that in some comparison, at the last census, 150,000 people were living in the Crawley area. That amounts to 20 deaths each year from alcohol in the Crawley area alone; working on the UK average.
