Why is it important?
The results reveal that there is a gender gap in alcohol consumption with men being more dependent on alcoholic beverages on a daily basis, in the morning and at work. The most vulnerable segment of the population, that is those working in the informal sector tend to be relatively more alcohol dependent. Consumption of other substances is also entwined with alcohol intake.
