Latest alcohol death statistics released

Thursday 27 January 2011

The number of alcohol-related deaths in the UK has increased since the early 1990s, rising from the lowest figure of 4,023 (6.7 per 100,000 population) in 1992 to the highest of 9,031 (13.6 per 100,000) in 2008. In 2009 the number of deaths fell to 8,664 (12.8 per 100,000).
Commenting on the figures, Don Shenker, Chief Executive of Alcohol Concern said that "the slight fall in alcohol-related deaths mirrors a slight drop in alcohol consumption, and while this is positive, is wholly due to a drop in consumer spending as a result of the recession."
