This publication reports on the consumption of alcohol in Jersey and the subsequent effect on Islanders’ health and wellbeing. Topics covered include: 

• alcohol consumption and price
• drinking behaviour of both adults and children
• alcohol-related hospitalisation and death
• some of the wider social issues related to alcohol such as crime and social security payments.

This report provides the latest available data on alcohol, its use, and its harms in Jersey since the previous iteration of this report in 2019 . Due to the coronavirus pandemic, some data for 2020 and 2021 is not available. Indicators provided in this report are based on the population estimates and projections for 2019 and 2020, respectively, and these are likely to be re-adjusted once results of the 2021 Census have been published. The appendix includes further details on methodology and data sources.
