At least a third of UK residents stoop to alcohol drinking in order to beat high stress levels. This fact has been drawn out through a new survey conducted by emotional support charity Samaritans. Main things, which came out during this survey are as following:- 1. 32 per cent of Britons say they drink to feel less stressed. 2. The worst offending age group is 25-to-34-year-olds. 3. Younger people usually prefer watching television or listening music to de-stress. 4. Almost a fifth of people aged between 16 and 24 admit to feeling suicidal. 5. 50 per cent of Britons are stressed out. At least a third of UK residents admit to resorting to alcohol in order to beat high stress levels, a new survey says. Apparently, two meanings can be derived from these facts. On one hand, where these facts show that susceptibility of Britons to depression is increasing at the same time number of people with alcohol consumption is also mounting and both these things points to a serious threat lying ahead for Britons. Because where depression leads to several psychological as well as physical disorders at the same, time irrational alcohol consumption, also give way for several ailments.
