Majority of people admit alcohol makes them lose control

Most people admit to “losing control” while under the influence of alcohol, yet say they still drink up to five times a week, according to research from Junior Chamber International (JCI) Cork.

The survey reveals 53% of respondents said they have lost control because of drink, while 54% of respondents said they consume alcohol up to five times a week.

Some 49% said they “sometimes” or “often” use alcohol to alleviate stress and identified money, work, and relationship problems as main factors in causing this stress.
