UK respondents said they got drunk 51 times in the past year, compared with 50 times in the US, 48 in Canada and 47 in Australia.
The results of the 2019 Global Drug Survey, published Thursday, revealed that British respondents get drunk more times per year than people from anywhere else.Adam Winstock, an addiction psychiatrist and founder of the Global Drug Survey, told CNN that British respondents are drinking too much, too often, regarding getting drunk as the point of a night out as opposed to enhancing the evening.
Consumption of alcohol is increasingly globally. Research published in the journal The Lancet earlier in May indicates that between 1990 and 2017, per capita adult alcohol consumption increased by nearly 0.7 liters to 6.5 liters annually around the world. The number is predicted to reach 7.6 liters by 2030.By 2030, half of the world's adults will drink , while 40% will abstain . Additionally, 23% of adults will binge drink at least once a month, compared with just 18.5% who did so in 1990.
