Letting people see they are not alone, smashing through the stereotype and changing the narrative of alcohol addiction in the UK. A silent pandemic has been sweeping the UK, impacting not only individuals but also their mental health. Together, we will show the public that change is possible, that alcohol doesn't discriminate, and that hope is alive. As a mental health charity, we will: encourage and count sobriety pledges and successes, measure how many people our campaigns reach across the UK, track increases in the number of people accessing support and help in the UK, and monitor the trending down of UK alcohol-related illness and death rates. Our focus is also on shame recovery, fostering an environment where individuals can seek help without stigma.
Alcohol Harm in the UK
We wanted to highlight just some of the ways alcohol harms us and our families. We like to focus on the positive elements of sobriety but education stems from hard facts and is part of our WHY here at For the Love of Clarity.
Between 2006 and 2019, the alcohol-specific mortality rate in England remained roughly constant, fluctuating between a high of 11.3 deaths per 100,000 population in 2008 and a low of 10.0 deaths per 100,000 population in 2012. However, in 2020, alcohol-specific mortality rates increased 19% from the previous year to 13 deaths per 100,000 population. In 2021, it increased even further to 13.9 deaths per 100,000 population. This increase in alcohol-specific deaths was seen across genders and in the most and least deprived deciles of the population, albeit to varying degrees.
and society as a whole £21 billion annually. Monitoring alcohol-related hospital admissions supports the national ambition to reduce harm set out in the Government's Alcohol Strategy. Between 2016/17 and 2019/20, the rate of hospital admissions related to alcohol consumption increased for both men and women. In 2020/21, the rate of hospital admissions decreased for the first time since this data was made available, potentially due to restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2021/22, the rate of hospital admissions increased again to 1,735 per 100,000 population (overall), similar to levels before the pandemic. In the same year, the rate of admissions for males was 2,683 per 100,000 population, almost three times the rate for females (906 per 100,000 population). These figures are rounded to the nearest 10.
Alcohol misuse across the UK is a significant public health problem with major health, social and economic consequences, estimated at between £21 and £52 billion a year[footnote 3]. Each year there are over 1 million admissions to hospital for alcohol-related conditions[footnote 4] .
