Men twice as likely to report binge drinking as women

Drinkaware found that 31% of men who drink aged between 18 and 24 report binge drinking in 2021 compared to 16% at the time of the initial lockdown phase in 2020.

The national charity that aims to reduce the misuse of alcohol in Ireland is urging men to protect themselves against harmful drinking.

Men are more than twice as likely to report binge drinking as women, and Drinkaware is calling on men to be aware of their drinking and how it impacts on their wellbeing and the wellbeing of those around them.
