Record number of British women are dying because of alcohol as figures show drink-related deaths are up 15% since 2001

Record number of British women are dying because of alcohol as figures show drink-related deaths are up 15% since 2001 More British women than ever are dying from alcohol-related diseases, figures revealed today.

Eight women in every 100,000 across the UK die every year because of conditions caused by boozing.

This figure is the highest it has been since records began in 2001 but still lower than the average of 12.2 deaths, and fewer than half the 16.8 deaths among men.

Hard-drinking baby boomers are also dying young because of their habit. Death rates are highest among women in their late 50s and men in their early 60s. The Daily Mail
