People tended to differentiate their own drinking practices as controlled/safe in relation to the out-of-control behaviours of a stereotypical harmful drinker. This was seen in the content analysis of drawings where participants tended to draw drinking contexts they didn't drink in.

Converting a protocol into a manuscript quickly for a conference deadline and thought it would be worth seeing if AI could check for and correct any instances of not updating the tense to past, but apparently forgot to tell it to stop acting as Cletus.

Was fun to talk to Times Radio about these findings this morning bright and early. (Was as scared as I look).

Important to say that although this study is dealing with people experiencing the most extreme outcome, a third of people in GB are drinking at levels which put them at harm as a result of their drinking. Government have said prevention is important, look forward to seeing some action on this.

The largest absolute increases were amongst those most at risk before the pandemic. Men were twice as likely to die compared to women, and there were three times as many deaths in disadvantaged areas compared to more advantaged ones. This means existing inequalities have got even worse.

Alcohol-specific deaths were reasonably stable up until 2019 and then increased by over a third between 2019 and 2022 following the pandemic. This equates to nearly 4000 more deaths between 2020 and 2022 than we would have expected to see based on the pre-pandemic trends.

No matter how busy I am, there's no way I am scrolling past this.. stellar headline writing, congrats to all involved.
