Studies show self-reported alcohol consumption accounts for only 40 to 60 per cent of sales. By John Von Radowitz.
Alcohol comes in a wide range of drinks with different alcoholic strengths, colours and tastes. Alcohol often has labels with useful information, such as how many units are in the drink. All labels are required by law to display the strength of the drink (alcohol by volume, or ABV).
Alcohol passes quickly into your bloodstream. The physical and mental effects on your body can happen very suddenly.
In 2019, there were 7,565 deaths registered in the UK that related to alcohol-specific causes, the second highest since the data time series began in 2001.
