The findings from the Royal College of Surgeons of Ireland (RCSI) are the first to look at the relationship between high-risk drinking, personal income, place of purchase and price paid for alcohol.
The study, involving 3,187 adults aged between 18 and 75 who reported drinking alcohol in the week prior to interview, revealed:
One in seven (14pc) Irish adults who drink alcohol pay less than €1 per standard drink, which is below the minimum unit price.
Almost two-thirds of respondents reported high-risk drinking, with men being more likely to admit high-risk drinking relative to women.
