- Transgender and non-binary individuals in the UK experience significant challenges with alcohol use, including higher likelihoods of dependence and limited access to support systems.
- A survey conducted between February and March 2022 gathered data from 565 participants about their alcohol use, motivations for reduction, and preferences for support methods.
- Findings revealed that over 15% of participants achieved long-term abstinence without support, often motivated by health concerns, and those wanting to reduce their drinking preferred self-help tools and specialized services tailored for their community.
