U.K.: Adults Still Drinking to Excess ‚Despite Health Campaigns‘
Freitag 23. Januar 2009 von htm
„More than a third of British adults drink over the safe daily alcohol limit recommended by the government, the latest official data revealed today. Despite public awareness of the dangers of over-indulgence, 37% of adults exceeded the limit in 2007, the Office for National Statistics said. About 41% of men drank more than 3-4 units of alcohol on at least one day of the week. And 34% of women exceeded their limit of 2-3 units.
Surveys of more than 16,000 adults found public health advertising has succeeded in making people better informed about the dangers of binge drinking, but it has not changed their behaviour.“ (Source: Harvard World Health News, 1/22/09) The Guardian, London, 1/22/09
Comment: That’s exactly the point politicians do not want to accept: Educational prevention cannot change the behaviour.
