Press release: Fewer adults dying from conditions directly caused by alcohol

Press release: Fewer adults dying from conditions directly caused by alcohol New figures show fewer adults are dying from alcohol-specific conditions, such as alcoholic liver disease and alcohol poisonings.

The latest update to the Local Alcohol Profiles for England (LAPE) data tool shows that nationally, alcohol-specific deaths fell by 3% to 17,755 deaths. Alcohol-related deaths have seen a slight increase, year on year, from an estimated 22,330 in 2012 to 22,976 in 2014. Alcohol-related deaths include conditions that are partially related to alcohol, such as heart disease and certain cancers. Public Health England
