Notes

  • Alcohol-specific deaths are those wholly caused by alcohol, such as alcoholic liver disease; deaths where alcohol played a part, such as some cancers and accidents, are not counted. Rates are age-standardised to the 2013 European Standard Population, so the nations can be compared despite their different ages.
  • The UK's figures include deaths of people who lived outside the UK, which no nation's figures include, so the nations' deaths add up to slightly fewer than the UK's.
