Lockdown due to the COVID?19 pandemic doesn't necessarily result in an
across?the?board increase in alcohol consumption, according to research
commissioned by Alcohol Change UK and released last month. The study found that
21% of adults who drink alcohol are drinking more often since the March 23
lockdown began in England, but that 35% reduced their frequency of consumption or
stopped drinking altogether. Of those surveyed, 6% of previous drinkers chose to
stop drinking altogether during lockdown. The study, a representative survey of
more than 2,000 people, extrapolates to 8.6 million adults in the United Kingdom
drinking more frequently since lockdown, while 14 million are drinking less often
or have stopped drinking entirely. In addition, many people are seeking help
based on visits to the ?Get help now? section of Alcohol Change UK's website
increasing 355% between March 23 and April 13, compared to the same period last
year.
