For harmful/hazardous drinking across Greater Glasgow and Clyde, this was highest in the least deprived quintiles, and lowest in the most deprived quintile.
However, these figures are from self-reported levels of alcohol consumption, which is known to be an underestimate of true alcohol consumption. Alcohol mortality data shows a different pattern, with higher alcohol-related deaths in more deprived areas.
