Drunk driving in the UK - Statistics & Facts
Alcohol consumption in the United Kingdom has been in decline, with figures in 2016 amounting to 9.5 liters per capita. This was 1.6 liters lower than in 2002. According to a survey from the same year, more than half of respondents between the ages of 25 to 44 stated that they self-moderated their alcohol intake. Unsurprisingly, the income group which spent the most on alcohol consumed away from home were those in the upper decile groups. The highest ten percent had spent a weekly average of 18.80 British pounds, compared to an average of 2.90 British pounds spent by those within the lower three decile groups.
