One in three adults need alcohol to get on the dancefloor
A questionnaire revealed that many British need a little “Dutch courage” to be able to rely on the dance runway.
In the United Kingdom, he says he needs an alcoholic beverage to start a dance; This ratio increases between 18 and 24, almost five -fifths.
However, a survey conducted by Breast Cancer UK confessed that elderly people were less embarrassed and less than one out of five people over 55 years of age needed a drink before dancing.
More than a quarter of the respondents said they trusted alcohol to provide confidence while meeting new people; This suggested that people use alcohol not only for pleasure but also for psychological protection.
The questionnaire revealed that 16 percent of people used alcohol as “icebergs” and drank to mask shyness.
This situation is especially common among young people; 39 percent of young people between the ages of 18-24 say that they need a drink in social situations and to meet new people, while this rate is only 16 percent in young people over 55 years of age.
While one quarter of adults will rarely prefer to drink alone, many of them are under pressure to drink in social environments.
It was seen that the greatest criminals were in nightclubs and bars, Christmas activities, birthday meetings and special occasions; Many people said that drinking at a party is accepted as kindness. One of every 11 British said he felt rude by saying no to a drink he didn’t want.
Although there is a orientation towards sober curiosity in the younger generation, the Z generation is also sensitive to peer pressure; One quarter confessed that he was ashamed to refuse to drink, and more than one third admitted that he was afraid that they would be called “boring” if they remained.
To behave as if he were holding an alcoholic drink to avoid strange questions, and lying about the reasons for abstaining were actions accepted by more than ten participants.
However, this peer pressure may affect the efforts to make healthier choices, and Breast Cancer UK said that 8 percent of breast cancer cases are linked to alcohol consumption.
Research and Interaction Director of the Charitable Organization. Hannah Moody said: “Research shows that alcohol increases our risk of breast cancer and can increase circulating hormone levels, including estrogen. The more we drink, the more this risk increases. However, despite serious health results, our survey has shown that some of us may prevent some of us.”
The estimated risk of diagnosis of breast cancer is one in seven (14%), but it will be seen that the relative risk of consuming up to two units per day increases by 9 percent.
Drinking increases the risk of life to 15.5 percent and six or more units per day (equivalent to two large glasses of wine) are faced with 60 percent higher risk, which will increase the possibility of lifetime to about 22 percent.
However, the Breast Cancer believes that the UK believes that less drinking responsibility should not be left to the individual and combines the World Cancer Research Fund and forces to demand reform. The aid organization wants to see compulsory health warnings, firmer marketing restrictions and minimum pricing in bottles.
However, a spokesman for Portman Group, an organization that controls alcohol labeling in the UK and financed by the beverage industry, said: “Although it is not opposed to the connection between alcohol and certain cancers, and that drinking at certain cancers is dangerous and increasing the risks, comprehensive cancer warning labels are not proportional to a proportional policy measure.
“This can create unnecessary anxiety, reduce confidence in health advice, and alienate people who need support.”
Most of the drinks contain the advice of the Chief of the United Kingdom to avoid drinking more than 14 units of alcohol per week.
