Oireachtas Coommittee: Health: The amount of alcohol being consumed by Irish adults increased last year for the second year in a row, provisional figures from the Central Statistics Office and Revenue Commissioners show.
Dr Tony Holohan, chief medical officer at the Department of Health, told the Oireachtas Committee on Health yesterday that “the provisional figures from the CSO” showed the average per capita consumption of pure alcohol increased from 11.9 litres in 2010 to just under 12 litres (11.97 litres) last year.
