5 Surprising Stats on Alcohol Use Disorder
- Public Health Scotland reported that adults in Scotland consume over 50% more alcohol than the recommended 14 units per week in 2023/24, showing excessive drinking nationwide.
- This follows Scotland's 2018 Minimum Unit Pricing policy, which lowered alcohol deaths by 13.4%, yet 2023 saw alcohol-related deaths reach a 15-year high.
