Question 17198 — alcohols and alcoholic beverages

Summary

Mrs. Michèle Tabarot draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the fight against alcoholism and its consequences in France. A recent study, carried out by Santé Publique France, showed that alcohol consumption remains relatively stable compared to previous years and thus maintains a high level in the country. The health impact of this consumption is considerable and greater than what is observed in many other European states. Alcohol is thus the second cause of “avoidable” mortality after tobacco, with 7% of the total number of deaths of people aged at least 15 years in 2015. 41,000 deaths would in fact be directly attributable to overconsumption of alcohol in France during that same year. This situation requires the full attention of public authorities and the deepening of the strategy to reduce risks associated with alcohol consumption. Also, she would like the Government to be able to specify the measures it intends to put in place regarding the strengthening of alcoholism prevention in France.
