This is the best summary I could come up with:
It is the share of adults aged 18 years and over who reported having had 60 grammes or more of pure ethanol on a single occasion in the past 30 days.
In 2019, nearly one in five adults (19 per cent) reported heavy episodic drinking at least once a month in the EU countries, a proportion that has remained stable since 2014.
Women in Denmark, Luxembourg, Germany and Ireland displayed the highest rates of heavy episodic drinking, which was above 20 per cent.
People with lower education levels do not have a higher rate of heavy episodic drinking in EU countries, except in Latvia.
However, when looking at alcohol-related harm, the burden is greater on people with lower socio-economic status," the OECD's 'Health at State of Health in the EU Cycle-2022' report found.
It doesn’t matter how much you drink – the risk to the drinker’s health starts from the first drop of any alcoholic beverage," Dr Carina Ferreira-Borges, acting Unit Lead for Noncommunicable Disease Management and Regional Advisor for Alcohol and Illicit Drugs in the WHO Regional Office for Europe explained.
