Default Alcohol deaths highest for 20 years in England and Wales

Alcohol killed more people in 2020 in England and Wales than in any of the previous 20 years, official data shows.

There were 7,423 deaths from alcohol misuse last year - a rise of 20% from 2019, the Office for National Statistics says.

Deaths increased from March 2020 onwards when the UK's coronavirus epidemic forced the first national lockdown.

Most deaths were related to long-term drinking problems and dependency.

The ONS defines alcohol deaths as those directly caused by misuse of alcohol.

Last year, around 80% of those deaths were from alcoholic liver disease, 10% from mental and behavioural disorders due to alcohol use and 6% from accidental poisoning by exposure to alcohol.

In England, men living in the most deprived areas were four times more likely to die from alcohol than men living in the wealthiest areas.

The alcohol death rate for men in 2020 was twice the rate for women - and this is no different from previous years.

In the last few months of 2020, when alcohol deaths were highest, death rates were 17.8 per 100,000 for men and 9.7 per 100,000 for women.

More people are dying right now from lockdown deaths than dying whilst testing positive within 30 days of death (half of which aren’t even covid deaths.... they’ve just died from old age or other causes whilst having been tested in the past 30 days)

The whole purpose was to vaccinate the vulnerable to not overburden the hospitals, that has been done now? Unsure why there are still such tough restrictions, if you’re vulnerable or 45+ you will have had the vaccine...

Definitely could see how that happened, unfortunately I think this is going to be only one of many side effects of Lock Down

But on a positive note, the flu disappeared.

tbf I think the Pubs opening might actually help people get out of the habit of drinking at home so much, if that makes any sense?

i think a lot of it was related to not having any other things to occupy the mind. Pubs these days are mainly social gatherings rather than drink fests

…in my local area, of the surrounding villages etc…?…they are quite a lot drinking pubs as well…it’s just more the preference is to drink with familiar people rather than home alone, you know…I mean, either way the drinking will be done and I’m not sure the amount will vary much …but maybe it does…
