Alcohol consumption: Survey: Abstaining from alcohol often requires justification
For many people, alcohol is part of celebrating - at the same time, many people have had bad experiences with drunk people. What a survey shows about dealing with drinking and abstinence.
A recent survey conducted by Pronova BKK found that 42% of respondents in Germany had to justify not drinking alcohol at some point. The survey, which polled 1,228 people aged 18 and above, revealed that 86% of respondents consume alcohol, with 38% drinking at least once a week. Men are more likely to drink regularly, with 50% consuming alcohol weekly, compared to 26% of women.
The survey also found that many people experience negative effects from others' drinking, with 46% having left a party early due to excessive drinking and 33% having been attacked by someone who was drunk.
