This means that while less alcohol is being drunk overall, there are more people drinking at risky levels. Unfortunately, so much drinking inevitably leads to the need for alcohol detox. Detoxing from alcohol can be dangerous under certain circumstances so much so that it's best to get professional help rather than trying to detox alone and at home."
"Only about 20% of the adults across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland report not consuming any alcohol. London has the same 20% of non-drinkers as the rest of the UK, but 32% for women. As for the rest, here are the excess drinking rates across the four nations: For the record, excess drinking is defined as consuming more alcohol than the Chief Medical Officer's guidelines consider low-risk drinking."
Alcohol consumption is widespread across the UK, with only about 20% of adults abstaining and London matching that average overall while showing higher non-drinking among women.
