      Only prob is theres more people doing hard drugs than before.

      Drinking culture was always bad.

      If you need to be drunk to have fun are you even having fun.

      For fucks sake guys – what’s going on here, letting the side down. You need to have a long hard look at yourselves, i mean i don’t even know who you even are anymore.

      Were people not drinking like fishes in ’87? Before my time

      u/cavedave is that weekly consumption? Or monthly? 9.4L per week is over 16 pints!!

      The decline is stark but colloquially I would say the trend is bottoming. 2025 v 2024 seems quite flat with some pubs reportedly busier than 2024.

      Remind me why we have minimum unit pricing again? Ridiculous notion that punishes poorer people

      How do they account of tourists, and Irish people drinking abroad? Also Irish people buying drink abroad and bringing it home. At the moment, anybody going to the UK is buying 2 litres of vodka…

      I was wondering why it was significantly lower in the 60s and 70s then remembered only half the population were drinking much in those days.

      Attitudes definitely changing towards alcohol and it’s good to see. It causes untold health and relationship damage in this country. The massive link with cancer is not promoted enough in our country because of the drinks lobby. Regular drinking hugely increases the chance of getting breast and other cancers.

      Ethanol is a poison. People are drinking poison. If alcohol was invented today there’s absolutely no way it would be permitted.

      High prices, more health conscious society, uptick in drug use probably the major three influences on this in my opinion.

      When I switched from beer to liquor I told my doctor I was drinking less as well

      And here I was thinking that men back in the 60s drank all their money every pay day.

      It’d also be good to see a timeline on drink driving laws shown. I’m shocked to see how drinking habits rose so steadily in a period I honestly thought was in decline. Must be more based on population growth and wealth and not on percentage of income used for alcohol.

      were there no records before the 60s or did we just really hit the bottle when we joined the EEC

      Love the way this is presented as a bad thing ‘ a long decline ‘ sounds so somber. “Where have all the pintmen gone?”

    23. Independent_Mud_6106 on

      I’d call it a positive upwards trend of less drinking

      It would be interesting to plot this against the median age of the population too.

      I remember frequently going to the pub 4 nights a week in the 2000s. Some weekends you’d be in the nightclub Friday and Saturday. The slow recovery pints on a Sunday were brilliant.

      Don’t know how we did it at the time.

      Drugs being cheaper and easily accessible is a massive factor here aswell, plus half the drinkers are out in Australia.

      It starts to decline right about when gaming consoles became a mass market phenomenon and more popular.

      Men saying ah I’ll skip the pints for tonight lads let me know how it went.
