research

i stared some research for the essay based on alcohol consumption in three selected countries.



The extent of the English alcohol is showcased in the 2015 English health survey. The survey conducted that 85% of men and 79% of women drank occasionally. Out of that 47% of men and 33% of women reported drinking at least once a week. (Craig, Fuller and Mindell, 2015). The survey is conducted by people answering to the GP, so the answers could vary. In the UK there were 7551 deaths in 2018, that were related to alcohol-specific causes. It was lower than the 2017s numbers, but it is still the second-highest number since the research started in 2001. (John Emyr, 2019).  The assumption would be that the lower-income household possibly would drink more, with 21 or 14 units a week in a higher-income household it varied from 27% of men and 23% of women, whilst people in the lowest income quintile is 17% for men and 10% for women. (Elizabeth Fuller, 2015) The consumption of alcohol in Norway is not equally distributed throughout the population. There is a small part of it that is responsible for a large part of the alcohol consumption. Johnstone, B.M. and I. Rossow, 2009) From a survey taken in 2019 the average drank approximately 40 times a year, and the average was that they would drink six units per time. (FHI, 2018). In Norway, in 2016 there were 336 people that died from alcohol-specific causes. The average age of the people that died was 63 years old. (FHI 18.01.2018) In Belarus, they have an average of 17,5 liter a year in 2010 but it has gone down to 15,2 in 2016 (World Health Organization, 2018)
 Belarus is known to have a high consumption of vodka especially; it might not be that big of a surprise that 34,7% of deaths in Belarus in 2014 were alcohol-related. (Vadzim Smok,2014).
