2023 in more detail:
Women students are most likely to drink beer more than once a week (28% compared to the 6% average overall).
Overall, 73% of women drink beer (an increase of 10% on 2018) but far less regularly (a decrease of 20%).
14% of women are regular beer drinkers, i.e., those who drink beer once or more each week, a decrease of 3% on 2018.
Compare this to the US where 37% of women are weekly beer drinkers (Statista, 2023) and in Italy, where 40% of women
are weekly beer drinkers.
