Type of alcohol drunk
As highlighted above, one of the advantages of the 1958 and 1970 cohort data is that
it includes detailed information about the types of alcohol that cohort members are
consuming. Figure 3 below shows the total number of units of alcohol consumed by
members of the 1958 and 1970 cohorts, broken down by the types of drink recorded.
As we might expect, whereas men’s weekly alcohol consumption consists mainly of
beer, women are more likely to drink wine. Figure 3 also shows that the consumption
of wine is greater for the cohort born in 1970 than for the 1958 cohort and this is
particularly marked for women.
