New data released by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) indicates a shift in drinking patterns within South Korea. While high-risk drinking rates have decreased among Korean men across all age groups over the past decade, they are increasing among women aged 30 and older.
The KDCA’s findings reveal a notable divergence in alcohol consumption trends. The data shows that men of all ages are engaging in high-risk drinking less frequently than they did ten years ago. Conversely, women over the age of 30 are demonstrating an increase in high-risk drinking behavior.
The source does not provide specific reasons for these changing patterns. However, the KDCA’s release of this data suggests a growing awareness and potential concern regarding alcohol consumption habits within different demographic groups in Korea.
