It is a myth that women do not drink alcohol. It is also said that even if women drink alcohol, they drink very little of it. However, now this myth is slowly being broken. While women are giving competition to men in every aspect, they are not lagging behind men even in the matter of drinking alcohol. In such a situation, there is a state where women drink the most alcohol. We are not saying this but the figures of the Central Government are saying this. So let us know about that state.
Women of this state drink the most alcohol
The Central Government had conducted the National Family and Health Survey (NFHS-5) between 2019 and 2022. In which the increasing number of women drinking alcohol was also mentioned. If we look at the statistics, every year 16 crore people in India drink alcohol. A large number of women have also come forward among them. Which is in crores. Survey data shows that in the country’s state Arunachal Pradesh, most women are fond of alcohol. You will be surprised to know that here 24 percent girls above 15 years of age drink alcohol.
What is the number of women who drink alcohol in the country?
After Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim has the highest number of women who drink alcohol. Here 16 percent girls drink alcohol. Whereas in the country, 1.03 percent women above 15 years of age drink alcohol. Of which 1.6 percent come from rural areas and 0.6 percent come from urban areas.
What do the previous figures say?
If you think that the number of women drinking alcohol has increased recently, then let us tell you that it is not so. In the year 2019, in response to a question, Union Minister of State Ratnalal Kataria had said that 1.50 crore women of the country are drug addicts.
