Alcohol-Related Deaths For Men Double
According to statistics, alcohol-related deaths for men have doubled since 1993. In 2005, 3,884 men died from alcohol-related diseases, up from 1,776 men in 1993. However these figures only relate to death certificates, and charities have suggested the real figure is more likely to be around 22,000.
The Government launched The Alcohol Harm Reduction Strategy in 2004 to improve early identification and treatment of alcohol problems, however the charity Alcohol Concern said the plan “lacked muscle”.
