The amount of alcohol a man drinks is the highest at around the age of 25, according to a new study.
Alcohol consumption sharply rises during the carefree teenage years and reaches the highest levels of frequency and volume in the mid-twenties, when booze becomes the linchpin of most social and corporate events.
Men’s drinking spikes to around 23 units per week – the equivalent of nine pints of beer at 4% strength – while a similar but less dramatic pattern is seen in women but with a lower overall weekly consumption of around eight units.
