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.

MHF marks Week 45, the national alcohol awareness week, with a focus on older adults and alcohol. The campaign highlights rising consumption among older people and the growing need for better conversations, support and knowledge.
