One in three adults need alcohol to get on dancefloor  but one group has less shame
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"However, older people have less shame, with fewer than one in five over-55s admitting to needing a drink before they dance, a survey by Breast Cancer UK revealed. More than a quarter of people surveyed said they rely on alcohol for confidence when meeting new people, suggesting people not only use alcohol for pleasure but also for psychological protection. The survey revealed 16 per cent of people use alcohol as an icebreaker and that they drink to mask shyness."
The Independent reports on major issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and highlights investigations such as the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary titled 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent requests donations to fund reporters on the ground, emphasizes trust across the political spectrum, and refuses to use paywalls so reporting remains free to readers. A Breast Cancer UK survey found many Britons use alcohol for social confidence: nearly one in three say they need a drink to start dancing, with 39 per cent of 18–24-year-olds and fewer than one in five over-55s.
