The facts we all should know
FACT #31
Are you aware Europe has the highest alcohol consumption in the world?
Europe has the highest levels of alcohol consumption per person, the highest prevalence of heavy episodic drinking, and the lowest rates of abstention from alcohol in the world. The most effective way to reduce mortality rates from alcohol-related liver disease, which is a dose-related condition, are interventions which reduce population-level alcohol consumption.
