The Epidemiology of Alcohol

The Epidemiology of Alcohol

Are you aware of how much alcohol is too much? Join me, Dr. Ferghal Armstrong, as I delve into the startling epidemiology of alcohol and alcohol misuse, based on the latest data from the National Drug Strategy Household Survey 2022-2023. Uncover the hidden facts and societal impacts of risky drinking habits, and learn how different countries set their alcohol consumption guidelines.

In this video, I'll break down the confusing variations of what constitutes a "standard drink" in Australia, Canada, the USA, and the UK. I'll also explore the recommended alcohol limits, why they differ so much between nations, and what this means for us. Find out the alarming statistics: 31% of people in Australia are drinking at risky levels, far exceeding the recommended limits. This video is packed with eye-opening insights on the impact of remote living, indigenous status, sexual orientation, and psychological distress on drinking behaviours.


But that's not all. You'll get to understand the real-life consequences of alcohol misuse: from verbal and physical abuse to injury rates requiring medical attention. Discover the shocking gender-specific risks, especially for women, and learn about the drastic behavior changes under the influence.
