ALSWH COVID-19 Survey 6: Report 6

Younger women were more likely to report a change in alcohol consumption since the covid-19 crisis began than older women. 1 in 3 women aged 25-31 reported a change (14% decreased, 21% increased). 1 in 4 women aged 42-47 reported a change (7% decreased, 20% increased). 1 in 7 women aged 69-74 repoted a change (10% decreased, 4% increased).
