Number of alcohol poisonings among 12 to 18 year olds fell to a record low in 2022. In that year, around 10,680 children and young people in this age group were treated in a clinic nationwide for acute alcohol poisoning.
This means that the number of cases of alcohol consumption among adolescents treated in hospital not only fell for the third year in a row, but also reached the lowest level since the first survey in 2006. The health insurance company registered the most young binge drinkers with alcohol poisoning, namely around 22,260 cases extrapolated, in 2012.
