A new Drinkaware report shows Ireland’s drinking culture is shifting, with more people now drinking at home and alone.
The charity’s 2025 Barometer finds one in three adult drinkers consumes alcohol alone at home at least once a week, while one in four still binge drink.
The research also shows strong demand for alcohol-free social spaces, especially among younger adults, who say more sober events would help them cut back.
Dervla O’Brien, CEO of Drinkaware says, the pandemic was behind a big shift in attitudes.
