There were a million hospital admissions related to alcohol last year in England and £3.13m was spent on prescription drugs to treat alcohol dependency.
The Health and Social Care Information Centre's latest report shows that 65% of adults admitted were men, but more under-16 girls than boys were admitted.
Frequent drinking among men and women continues to fall.
Deaths from alcohol in England also decreased by 4% to 6,490.
The HSCIC figures, contained in Statistics on Alcohol - England, 2014 uses a number of sources of information to calculate alcohol-related hospital admissions.
