There have been nearly 11,000 deaths caused by alcohol recorded between 2010 and 2019. Some 23,751 people in Scotland were admitted to a general acute hospital with an alcohol-related diagnosis in 2018/19 - that remains four times higher than in the early 1980s. But official figures also show that before the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns, the number of alcohol-specific deaths had dropped by 10% in the last full year from 1,136 in 2018 to 1,020 in 2019. That was the first substantial drop in the number of alcohol-specific deaths in Scotland since 2012. It followed the introduction of minimum unit pricing by the Scottish government in May 2018 a bid to cut consumption and save lives.
