Bella Hadid on quitting alcohol: 'I felt like I wouldn’t be able to control myself'
The UK's drinking isn't in the healthiest shape, right now.
By the end of October 2021, over a fifth of UK adults were drinking to harmful levels, according to government research, driven by people imbibing more, over longer periods of time, in their own homes.
Research carried out by King's College London in May 2020 found that 29% of people reported that they had drunk more than they normally would
What's more, research published in the journal Addictive Behaviour noted that women were more likely than men to drink to cope with the stress of the pandemic.
But that isn't the whole picture of the pandemic's affect on drinking habits. Research from charity Alcohol Change shows that one in three British people reported reducing their consumption of the hard stuff when the whole country was in lockdown.
And let's be clear: cutting alcohol down, or out completely, is a win from your body and mind's point of view. Excessive alcohol consumption is linked to more than 200 diseases, thousands of injuries and causes three million deaths a year globally. In January, a study confirmed alcohol to be a direct cause of cancer.
While swerving booze, wholesale? Research shows this has proven benefits for sleep, energy, weight, immunity and stress.
So, if you're looking to cut down on or ditch alcohol, the first thing to say is: good choice! The second? That you are in esteemed company.
