=== UK and alcohol usage ===
On July 29, 2014, ''The Independent'' reported:
{{cquote|The UK is full of heavy drinkers with bad eating habits who are ignorant, intolerant and too nationalistic – so it’s just as well that we are also very polite.
It might sound like a stereotypical list of national traits, but these are the views of more than 5,000 young adults from five different countries who were asked to give their opinion on modern Britain by the British Council.<ref>[http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/boozy-ignorant-intolerant-but-very-polite--britain-as-others-see-us-9633967.html Boozy, ignorant, intolerant, but very polite – Britain as others see us]</ref>}}
The UK website Alcohol Concern reports:
{{cquote|More than 9 million people in England drink more than the recommended daily limits
In England, in 2012 there were 6,490 alcohol-related deaths, a 19% increase compared to 2001
Alcohol is 10% of the UK burden of disease and death, making alcohol one of the three biggest lifestyle risk factors for disease and death in the UK, after smoking and obesity.
An estimated 7.5 million people are unaware of the damage their drinking could be causing
In the UK in 2012-13, there were 1,008,850 hospital admissions related to alcohol consumption where an alcohol-related disease, injury or condition was the primary reason for hospital admission or a secondary diagnosis<ref>[https://www.alcoholconcern.org.uk/help-and-advice/statistics-on-alcohol/ Statistics on alcohol - Alcohol concern]</ref>}}
