Younger Drinkers More Responsible Than Older Ones, United Kingdom

It seems that boozers in their twenties are better able to stay within their drinking limits compared to drinkers over thirty - the worst age appears to be people in their thirties and forties, according to a new survey carried out by YouGov. This poll was commissioned by the government as part of a Christmas period campaign to encourage drinkers to be sensible - the campaign is called Know Your Limits.


According to the National Health Service (NHS), 75,000 people aged 35-49 were admitted to hospital for alcohol-related reasons in 2005/2006, compared to 50,000 in 2002/2003.


Approximately one third of those aged 30-50 said that at least one night out had been ruined for them as a result of excessive drinking during the previous twelve months. 44% of 30-50 year-olds said they still had problems sticking to their drinking limits (keeping to within the number of recommended drinks), compared to 40% of 18-29 year-olds. About one half of those aged 30-50 said they had experienced such a bad hangover that during the day after their drinking session they could not function properly.


It is a fact that the older you get the more severe and unpleasant the hangovers can be.
