Canadians are consuming higher quantities of alcohol

New research is raising concerns about how much Canadians are drinking.
 
Overall alcohol consumption has dropped over the long term, but according to a new report from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, adults who consume alcohol are drinking higher quantities of it, more than they did before the start of the pandemic.
 
The report found a three per cent rise in daily drinking in 2025 compared to 2019 ...and binge drinking...five or more drinks on a single occasion at least once per week, is even higher,  up 3.6 per cent compared to before the pandemic.
