More Dutch people are sticking to one glass of wine a day

Dutch News  

More people in the Netherlands are having no more than one alcoholic drink a day or are quitting alcohol altogether, new figures from the national statistics agency CBS show. ‘Every alcoholic drink does damage to the body,’ spokeswoman for the Trimbos addiction and mental health institute Karin Monshouwer told broadcaster Nos. Nevertheless, there is still much work to do, for instance by limiting the amount of advertising for alcoholic drinks, a measure proposed in the 2018 government health agreement, Monshouwer said. The survey also showed that people on low incomes are most likely to keep to the recommended amount of alcohol per day while people on high incomes are least likely to moderate alcohol use.
