Article Synopsis
- Alcohol can hurt not just the person drinking, but also others around them, especially women and those with lower incomes.
- A study looked at responses from over 39,000 people in 32 European countries to see how income levels affect harm from others' drinking, finding that lower-income individuals reported more harm.
- The results showed that higher income inequality in a country can increase risks for women but decrease risks for men with strangers' drinking, highlighting the need for better alcohol control policies.
