Drinkaware is publishing research today on the links between drinking and deprivation, with data consistently showing higher mortality rates for those living in the most deprived areas. Read the full Drinking and Deprivation in England report here ⬇️ https://t.co/MmPaVsE1PR

Responding to the publication of alcohol-specific deaths registered in the UK in 2023 by the ONS, Drinkaware’s CEO, Karen Tyrell, said "Alcohol-specific deaths have been rising sharply since 2019 and today’s statistics show another rise, taking us to a depressing new high." 🧵⬇️

[Office for National Statistics (ONS) @ONS]

In 2023, there were 10,473 deaths from alcohol-specific causes registered in the UK, the highest number on record.

This is 4.2% higher than in 2022 and 38.4% higher than in 2019, the last pre #COVID19 pandemic year.

"This should address the inequalities that are exacerbating these death rates, improve the early diagnosis of liver disease and support the public to better understand how alcohol is impacting their health.”⬇️
