We have an existing agenda on tackling harms from alcohol, including a programme to establish specialist alcohol care teams in hospitals. The Government published the Drug Strategy on 6 December 2021, which will invest £532 million over three years in local authority commissioned substance misuse treatment services in England. This will benefit people seeking treatment for alcohol misuse as alcohol and drug services are jointly commissioned.<\/p>"}

\u2018Monitoring alcohol consumption and harm during the COVID-19 pandemic: summary\u2019 published in July 2021, reviewed the changes in alcohol consumption and harm during the COVID-19 pandemic. This indicated that there has been a change in where people buy alcohol, with more alcohol being purchased in the off-trade. The volume of off-trade sales increased by 25% between 2019 and 2020. The report is available at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/alcohol-consumption-and-harm-during-the-covid-19-pandemic/monitoring-alcohol-consumption-and-harm-during-the-covid-19-pandemic-summary<\/p>
Surveys measuring self-reported alcohol consumption show that the majority of respondents reported drinking the same volume and the same frequency as before the pandemic. Similar proportions of respondents reported drinking more or more frequently and drinking less or less frequently. Those who reported drinking more during the pandemic than before tended to be heavier drinkers.<\/p>"}

In England, the Department continues to promote the United Kingdom Chief Medical Officers\u2019 recommendations of not regularly exceeding 14 units a week through online platforms, local authorities\u2019 public health duties and encouraging alcoholic drink producers to reflect the guidelines on labelling. The Department is also working with industry to create more consumer choice and availability in the low and no alcohol sector to moderate drinking habits within the guidelines.<\/p>
The Better Health and One You adult health campaigns have provided information and advice to help adults consume less alcohol during the pandemic. Better Health continues to offer tips and online tools to help people drink less including the Drinks Tracker app, \u2018How Are You\u2019 health quiz, Better Health website and email programme.

The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities found that consumption of alcohol in the North increased for higher risk drinkers during periods of lockdown, as compared with periods of no restrictions in place. The overall percentage of people in the North who reported drinking within the Chief Medical Officer\u2019s guidelines of 14 units per week reduced and the latest data available shows this change has maintained. The latest data as of November 2021 shows that the number of non-drinkers had increased in the North, compared to pre-pandemic levels.<\/p>"}

Public Health England has published an online monitoring tool to track behavioural changes, including alcohol consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings on alcohol consumption are that intake across the population as a whole remained about the same during the pandemic. Those aged 18 to 34 were more likely to report consuming less alcohol each week than before and those aged 35 to 54 were more likely to report an increase. There was also an increase in the proportion of \u2018high risk\u2019 drinking from April to September. The monitoring tool is available at the following link:<\/p>
