Alcohol misuse increases the risk of 60 medical conditions throughout the body, and contributes significantly to the biggest causes of preventable disease and early death, alongside poor nutrition, physical inactivity and tobacco use. Alcohol also contributes significantly to social harms, such as domestic violence and increases the risk of mental health conditions, such as depression. Alcohol-related harm in Jersey is estimated to cost £38 million a year in treating alcohol-related medical conditions, as well as the broader social and economic costs due to lost productivity and absence from work.
