Alcohol consumption in Sweden has fallen by more than 20 percent since 2004. A new CAN report shows that young adults drink far less than before, while consumption among older adults has risen sharply. The gap between age groups has almost disappeared, and people in their 70s now drink more than those in their 30s.

Risky drinking among young men in Sweden has halved in 20 years, while it’s rising among those over 45—especially older women.
