A daily glass of wine - or two - is now an ingrained habit for middle-class drinkers, despite the risks.
Almost two thirds of people on higher incomes who drink do so at least once a week, according to the latest Healthy Ireland survey. But nearly half are consuming alcohol on "multiple days" and many have weekly binge sessions as well.
Those in the 55-64 age group are also the most likely to drink frequently. But rates are also high among the over-65s - highlighting how many pensioners have fallen into potentially dangerous patterns.
