Millions of Britons are causing themselves “silent harm” through hazardous drinking at home, experts have warned, as figures reveal levels of “higher risk” alcohol consumption have soared during the pandemic.

While the new figures concern England only, the phenomenon has been seen in all parts of the UK.

Eight million people in England are drinking so much wine, beer or spirits that it is harmful to their health, according to data from the government’s Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, with a large increase in the numbers drinking at levels considered to be dangerous.
根据政府健康改善与差异办公室的数据显示，在英国，有800万人喝了太多的葡萄酒、啤酒或烈性酒，这对他们的健康是有害的，而饮用被认为达到 “危险水平”的酒的人数大幅增加。

Prof Julia Sinclair, the chair of the addictions faculty at the Royal College of Psychiatrists, said the switch to drinking at home during the Covid pandemic was partly to blame for the rise, with drinking sessions sometimes lasting several hours longer than they would in a pub.
英国皇家精神病学院成瘾问题系主任朱莉娅·辛克莱教授表示，新冠肺炎大流行期间，人们转向在家喝酒，这是饮酒人数上升的部分原因，饮酒时间有时比在酒吧里要长几个小时。

Figures based on YouGov surveys show 18.1% of adults in England were drinking at “increasing or higher risk” in the three months to the end of October 2021, which equates to 8 million people.
根据舆观的调查数据显示，在截至2021年10月底的三个月里，英国有18.1%的成年人饮酒的“风险在增加或更高”，相当于800万人。

That is much higher than in February 2020, before the pandemic, when 12.4% or about 6 million people drank at these levels. In October 2019, 11.9%, or about 5 million people, were drinking at this level.
这远远高于疫情爆发前的2020年2月的水平，当时12.4%（约600万人）的饮酒量达到这一水平。2019年10月，11.9%的人（约500万人）处于这一水平。

The NHS recommends adults consume no more than 14 units of alcohol per week. Increasing or higher-risk drinking is defined by the alcohol use disorders identification test (audit) used by professionals, which asks questions about people’s drinking habits. It looks at how often people drink, how many units in one session, whether they ever feel guilty and whether they sometimes miss out on usual activities due to drinking.
英国国家医疗服务体系建议成年人每周饮酒不超过14单位。“饮酒增加”或“高风险饮酒”是由专业人士使用的酒精使用障碍识别测试（审计）来定义的，该测试询问人们的饮酒习惯。它考察了人们喝酒的频率，一次喝多少单位，他们是否会感到内疚，以及他们是否会因为喝酒而错过日常活动。

Sinclair said the latest data, which suggests more than twice as many men as women are drinking alcohol at hazardous levels, showed people were still dealing with uncertainty and anxiety caused by the pandemic while some had formed habits involving alcohol.
辛克莱表示，最新数据表明，饮酒达到危险水平的男性是女性的两倍多，这表明人们仍在应对疫情造成的不确定性和焦虑，而一些人已经养成了喝酒的习惯。

Asked if current drinking levels could be considered the “new normal”, Sinclair told PA Media: “The best, most realistic, scenario is that the higher-risk drinkers go back over the next probably five years to normal risk drinking – back to where they were. But people won’t just suddenly flip back to where they were – none of us suddenly flips back.
当被问及目前的饮酒水平是否可以被视为“新常态”时，辛克莱告诉PA媒体说：“最好、最现实的情况是，较高风险的饮酒者可能在未来5年回到正常风险的饮酒水平——回到他们原来的水平。但人们不会突然回到他们原来的位置——没有人会突然回到原来的位置。

“What we’re going to see is that some people who were perhaps drinking at a higher risk but weren’t physically dependent will have pushed themselves into being physically dependent, and they’re not the group who can suddenly wind back from this.
“我们将要看到的是，一些饮酒风险较高但没有酒精依赖的人将会迫使自己成为酒精依赖的人，他们不是能突然从这种依赖上再恢复过来的群体。
“我们将要看到的是，一些饮酒风险较高但没有酒精依赖的人将会迫使自己成为酒精依赖的人，他们不是能突然从这种依赖上再恢复过来的群体。
“What was really clear was that just even nine months of drinking, as we saw in 2020, was enough to push a whole load of people over the edge. We’ve yet to see the data from this year but my guess anecdotally would be that it is going to be substantial.”
“真正清楚的是，就像我们在2020年看到的那样，仅仅九个月的饮酒就足以把一大批人推到崩溃的边缘。我们还没有看到今年的数据，但我猜测，这将是实质性的。”

Sinclair said some people who never drank except when they went out or went to the pub were now drinking at home. “You then get some periodic times when you can also drink in the pub,” she said. “Do you suddenly change your behaviour to not drinking at home or does drinking in the pub now become the add-on?”
辛克莱说，有些人除了外出或去酒吧外从不喝酒，现在却在家里喝酒。她说：“然后（疫情结束后）你会有一些你也可以在酒吧喝酒的周期性的时间。但你会突然改变自己的习惯，不再在家喝酒吗？或者在酒吧喝酒现在已经成了一种（在家喝酒的）‘补充’？”

At the moment, Sinclair said, the data suggests people were carrying on drinking what they began to drink at home and then drinking more on top of that.
辛克莱说，目前的数据表明，人们继续保持喝他们在家里开始喝的酒，然后又额外喝更多酒吧的酒。

Many people have not yet reached the stage where they realise they have a problem and are causing themselves “silent harm”, she added. Drinking at home “can go on for hours” and people are not keeping track of their measures – “the drinks are not coming in units”, she said.
她补充说，许多人还没有达到意识到自己有问题、正在给自己造成“无声伤害”的阶段。她说，在家里喝酒“可能持续好几个小时”，而且人们不会记录自己的饮酒量——“喝酒不是按单位限制的”。

Sinclair said patients were coming into hospitals in a “much more severe” state. “We’ve had more patients going into delirium tremens – the really kind of life-threatening part of alcohol withdrawal – who end up in intensive care,” she said. “I have seen more people in our hospital in that state [during the pandemic] than I’ve seen in the six years prior to that.”
辛克莱说，入院的病人病情“严重得多”。她说：“我们有更多的病人出现震颤性谵妄，这是酒精戒断后真正危及生命的部分，他们最终被送到重症监护室。（在大流行期间）我在我们医院看到的处于这种状态的人比我之前6年见过的人还要多。”

Yeah I can definitely say that my drinking has gotten significantly worse over the pandemic. I drink until I pass out most nights now.
I want to cut back, but I’m honestly scared that I won’t be able to cope

Without alcohol, I've found that I can better handle emotional and stressful situations, and at 36, I'm finally learning how. Alcohol is a depressant and therefore depresses our stresses and feelings. It works wonders, which is why so many do it, but it's only temporary and the original problem is still there along with the numerous negative physical and mental effects alcohol causes.
在不喝酒的情况下，我发现自己能更好地处理情绪和压力，在36岁的时候，我终于学会了如何做到。酒精是一种镇静剂，因此可以减轻我们的压力和感觉。它能产生神奇的效果，这就是为什么这么多人这么做的原因，但它只是暂时的，最初的问题仍然存在，再加上酒精导致的许多负面身心影响。

I self medicated for depression using alcohol for years. One day, after spending a weekend vomiting after a particularly bad bender, I realised the alcohol was making my situation worse, so I swore off booze until I could encounter a stressful situation and not think "I need a drink". Took 5 years, the first few weeks were hard, but I replaced the alcohol with alcohol free beers and various teas so I still had something to drink in an evening and it helped. Because I always said I was just breaking the habit, not swearing off it forever, I found it easier too. I can now have 1 or 2 drinks and not feel the need for more, and rarely do go beyond that.
At one point in my life, I was taking sleeping tablets one night, drinking myself stupid the next, and still not sleeping much in between. But I know now that my situation would've been vastly improved by learning a coping mechanism that'd help me deal with life without that, and that's what I did. It was hard, but if I had to do it again I would, because I can now take lifes bullshit and not need alcohol.
I promise you, if this is what you want to do, if you want to quit, you can. It'll be difficult, you need to learn what works for you. Good luck.
多年来我一直用酒精来治疗抑郁症。有一天，在经历了一次严重的酗酒后，我整个周末都在呕吐。我意识到酒精让我的情况变得更糟了，所以我发誓戒酒，直到我遇到压力大的情况，才会觉得“我需要喝一杯”。我花了5年时间，最初的几周很艰难，但我用不含酒精的啤酒和各种茶代替了酒精，所以我晚上还能有东西喝，这很有帮助。因为我总是说我只是在打破这个习惯，而不是发誓永远戒掉它，我发现这也更容易。我现在可以只喝一两杯而不觉得需要更多，而且很少超过这个量。
在我生命中的某一时刻，我一天晚上吃安眠药，第二天晚上喝得酩酊大醉，但其间还是没睡多少觉。但我现在知道，如果我学会了一种应对机制，可以帮助我应对没有这些的生活，我的处境将会大大改善，我也照做了。这很难，但如果我再来一次，我会的，因为我现在可以接受生活的扯淡，而不需要借助酒精。
我向你保证，如果这是你想做的，如果你想放弃酗酒，你是可以做到的。这很困难，你需要知道什么对你有效。祝你好运。

I used to drink, I always needed another when others were leaving. Part of the problem here in the UK and much of the world, is that drinking forms a massive part of socialising, dating etc.
A few beers would lead me to a bottle of whisky and a bag of coke.
As others have said, the current climate of poor pay, failing healthcare, unaffordable housing, inflation and lockdowns will inevitably lead to substance abuse across the board. When GPs turn to antidepressants and anxiolytics for first line treatment, then society is sick. Ironically, social media has destroyed society, being honest about how you feel is treated with contempt, the constant need to validate yourself with fake internet points and clout all result in isolation and social facades that are impossible to maintain forever.
I'm a year sober from everything now, but I still struggle when I sit in a pub as I still crave a single malt or some form of social lubrication. Its been ingrained in me to drink at social events, my family are drinkers, so social events were always about drinking. Sadly, many meaningful relationships deteriorated due to problematic boozing. Jobs were lost and partners left.
Part of the problem is escaping the dull reality of life. Booze and drugs make things better, temporarily. Some people like temporary fixes. They then become a permanent fix. If your crutch is booze or drugs, you need to take a break from it. One thing I know for sure as an addict, alcohol is certainly one of, if not the most damaging substances available on the market.
Find a purpose, get out and walk in nature and find someone who you can be 100% yourself with.
我以前喝酒，别人走了之后我总要继续喝一杯。在英国和世界上很多地方，饮酒是社交和约会的重要组成部分。
喝几瓶啤酒，就会让我再喝一瓶威士忌和一包可卡因。
正如其他人所说的那样，目前低工资、医疗状况不理想、住房负担不起、通货膨胀和封锁的环境，将不可避免地导致全面药物滥用。当全科医生将抗抑郁药和抗焦虑药作为一线治疗手段时，就说明整个社会病了。具有讽刺意味的是，社交媒体已经摧毁了社会，诚实地表达你的感受会被轻视，不断地需要用虚假的网络点数和影响力来验证自己，所有这些都导致了孤立和不可能永远维持的社会表象。
现在，我已经一年没有碰过任何东西了，但当我坐在酒吧里时，我仍然很挣扎，因为我仍然渴望一杯麦芽酒或某种形式的社交润滑剂。在社交场合喝酒对我来说是一种根深蒂固的习惯，我的家人都是酒鬼，所以社交场合总是和喝酒有关。可悲的是，许多有意义的关系因为有问题的酗酒而恶化。工作岗位流失，伙伴们离开。
问题的一部分在于逃避生活的枯燥现实。酒精和药物能暂时让情况好转。有些人喜欢“临时修复”。然后它们就变成了“永久方案”。如果你的精神支柱是酒或药物，你需要戒掉它们。作为一个成瘾者，我可以肯定的是，酒精即使不是市场上最具破坏性的物质，也是其中之一。
找到一个目标，走出去，走进大自然，找到一个能让你全身心交往的人。

100% agree. People say weed is a gateway drug, and perhaps for some it is, but for me it was alcohol. If I didn't drink I wouldn't have started taking pills and speed. Weed and coke came later.
I'm not a year sober like you but even after just five weeks I feel so, so much better, both physically and mentally.
100%赞同。人们说大麻是入门级毒品，也许对某些人来说是，但对我来说是酒精。如果我不喝酒，那我也不会开始嗑药和吸毒。后来又吸上了大麻和可卡因。
我不像你那样戒酒一年，但仅仅五周后我就感觉好多了，身体上和精神上都好多了。

Who would imagine that closing the places people can drink safely and with supervision, and scaring them all into being alone at home the whole time, would result in less safe drinking?
Though I suspect that the "harmful" level is so low it's a bit meaningless. The maximum guideline is about seven pints a week - if you have one a day I wouldn't call that a dangerous habit or a dependency.
The increase in people in higher risk groups is bad, though. Time for a Scots-style minimum pricing rule, and higher alcohol taxes for off-licence sales (so pubs become more competitive again vs supermarket drinking).
谁能想象，在监督下关闭人们可以安全饮酒的场所，并恐吓所有人让他们一直呆在家里，居然会导致人们不安全饮酒？
虽然我怀疑“有害”水平很低，这是有点毫无意义的。每周最多喝7品脱——如果你每天喝1品脱，我不会说这是一种危险的习惯或酒精依赖。
然而，高风险饮酒人群的增加是不好的。是时候出台苏格兰式的最低定价规则，以及对非特许销售征收更高的酒精税了（这样酒吧就会比超市里的酒更有市场竞争力）。

Or..... is it just possible it's a real problem?
It makes sense; your living room doesn't have a kicking out time, it's cheaper, no taxi/bus/train home you need to get, music/films/tv/video games for company if you find yourself on your own. Impulse control already reduced and effectively a free bar at your disposal.
Personally, I do drink too much. I wouldn't say I'm an alcoholic but it's definitely a habit. It's a struggle for me to go 6 days (which is what I'm trying to do this year) at a time without a drink. The background to this for me is i had quite a destructive drug habit in my 20s which I essentially replaced with equally damaging but more socially acceptable food and booze habits.
After becoming a parent, Friday nights on the sofa with a takeaway and a few beers or a bottle of wine to share with the other half were already a thing. Lockdown anxiety, long zoom calls with mates, the ease of home delivery, no need to get up to commute or get the kids to school, yeah, I'll say I definitely upticked on the drinking too much scale. No full blown binges (but I don't really do that anyway now as a man in his late 30s) but definitely more "fuck it let's open a bottle of wine" moments and "you know what? I will have a glass of whisky to chase this beer down" in front of a nice cozy fire.
I strongly doubt I'm alone in this (and the evidence seems to suggest that's true) but for everyone that recognises the issue there'll be loads that don't and that will cause problems for the NHS down the line if we don't raise awareness.
还是说……有可能这真的是个问题吗？
它是有意义的：你家的客厅不存在“座位限时”，它更便宜，你不需要坐出租车、公交车或地铁回家，如果你发现自己一个人，你可以听音乐、看电影、看电视或玩视频游戏。冲动控制已经减少，实际上就是你的“免费酒吧”。
就我个人而言，我确实喝得太多了。我不会说我是个酒鬼，但这绝对是一个习惯。保持6天不喝酒对我来说是一场斗争（这是我今年试图做到的）。对我来说，这一切的背景是，我在20多岁的时候有一个相当有害的吸毒习惯，所以我基本上用同样有害但更能被社会接受的贪食和酗酒习惯取代了它。
为人父母后，每周五晚上和另一半一起坐在沙发上吃外卖，喝上几瓶啤酒或葡萄酒，已经是家常便饭了。封锁焦虑、和朋友长时间的通话、方便的送货上门、不需要起床通勤或送孩子上学，是的，我得说我喝酒喝得太多了。没有完全的狂欢（但作为一个快40岁的男人，我现在真的不会那样做了），但绝对更多的是“cao，让我们开瓶酒吧”的时刻，以及在舒适的火炉前“你知道吗？我要喝杯威士忌，把啤酒喝完。”
我强烈怀疑我是唯一一个这样做的人（证据似乎表明确实不是），但对于每个认识到这个问题的人来说，会有更多人没有认识到这个问题，如果我们不提高意识，这将给国家医疗体系造成麻烦的。

The background to this for me is i had quite a destructive drug habit in my 20s which I essentially replaced with equally damaging but more socially acceptable food and booze habits.
After becoming a parent, Friday nights on the sofa with a takeaway and a few beers or a bottle of wine to share with the other half were already a thing. Lockdown anxiety, long zoom calls with mates, the ease of home delivery, no need to get up to commute or get the kids to school, yeah, I'll say I definitely upticked on the drinking too much scale. No full blown binges (but I don't really do that anyway now as a man in his late 30s) but definitely more "fuck it let's open a bottle of wine" moments and "you know what? I will have a glass of whisky to chase this beer down" in front of a nice cozy fire.
I strongly doubt I'm alone in this (and the evidence seems to suggest that's true) but for everyone that recognises the issue there'll be loads that don't and that will cause problems for the NHS down the line if we don't raise awareness.
还是说……有可能这真的是个问题吗？
它是有意义的：你家的客厅不存在“座位限时”，它更便宜，你不需要坐出租车、公交车或地铁回家，如果你发现自己一个人，你可以听音乐、看电影、看电视或玩视频游戏。冲动控制已经减少，实际上就是你的“免费酒吧”。
就我个人而言，我确实喝得太多了。我不会说我是个酒鬼，但这绝对是一个习惯。保持6天不喝酒对我来说是一场斗争（这是我今年试图做到的）。对我来说，这一切的背景是，我在20多岁的时候有一个相当有害的吸毒习惯，所以我基本上用同样有害但更能被社会接受的贪食和酗酒习惯取代了它。
为人父母后，每周五晚上和另一半一起坐在沙发上吃外卖，喝上几瓶啤酒或葡萄酒，已经是家常便饭了。封锁焦虑、和朋友长时间的通话、方便的送货上门、不需要起床通勤或送孩子上学，是的，我得说我喝酒喝得太多了。没有完全的狂欢（但作为一个快40岁的男人，我现在真的不会那样做了），但绝对更多的是“cao，让我们开瓶酒吧”的时刻，以及在舒适的火炉前“你知道吗？我要喝杯威士忌，把啤酒喝完。”
我强烈怀疑我是唯一一个这样做的人（证据似乎表明确实不是），但对于每个认识到这个问题的人来说，会有更多人没有认识到这个问题，如果我们不提高意识，这将给国家医疗体系造成麻烦的。

It's much easier to drink too much when you're at home, especially if you're by yourself. Talking to other people and being out in the world needing to do things is one of the best ways to notice that you've had enough.
当你在家的时候更容易喝太多，尤其是当你一个人的时候。与他人交谈，到外面的世界去做一些事情，是发现你受够了的最好方式之一。

It's much easier to drink too much when you're at home
I hear this a lot but I've always found the opposite. While I'm at home I've really got no incentive to drink more than a couple of beers, and find that it makes me bloated and super tired in no time so I don't even want more to drink.
Being out on the other hand, you've got a bit more motivation to drink (along with social pressure, let's be honest) and being busy you can easily lose track of how much you've actually had.
“当你在家的时候更容易喝太多”
这句话我听过很多次，但我发现的情况总是相反的。当我在家的时候，除了几杯啤酒，我真的没有什么动力去喝酒，而且我发现它会让我很快变得上头和超级疲劳，所以我甚至不想再喝了。
而另一方面，在外面，你会有更多的动力去喝酒（老实说，还有社交压力），而且太忙了，你很容易忘记自己到底喝了多少。

I think this might be an age thing tbh. I rarely go out with the intention of getting smashed these days, it's usually a few pints with the lads or wine and a meal with the Mrs plus we're usually getting a train back at half 11 ish now we live in the stick.
The data of compulsory shots and clubbing tend to die down when you hit your 30s and kids enter the picture.
老实说，我觉得这可能跟年龄有关。这些天我很少有喝个酩酊大醉的打算，通常是和小伙子们喝几杯，或者和太太们吃顿饭，而且我们通常在11点半左右乘地铁回去，现在我们住在乡下。
当你30多岁，有了孩子，强制喝酒和泡吧的情况就会逐渐消失了。

Can you blame us? Constant anxiety and division of COVID, Brexit being a disaster, costs going up while our shower of shite government live it up in private jets and five holidays a year.
这能怪我们吗？新冠肺炎带来的持续焦虑和分裂，英国脱欧是一场灾难，物价不断上升，而我们该死的政府却坐着私人飞机到处飞，还一年有5次假期。

Yes, you can definitely blame people for their own actions.
“这能怪我们吗？”
是的，你完全可以拿别人自己做出的行为去指责他们。

Okay, but when you’ve had a really shit couple of years, having a few extra drinks is to be expected. You can’t blame someone for wanting a coping mechanism during an extremely stressful time, especially during COVID when support options are limited and socialising with even a single friend or family member in person is incredibly difficult for many. Shaming people for trying to cope is not the way to go about this
好吧，但当你这几年过得很糟糕的时候，多喝几杯是正常的。你不能责怪某人在极度紧张的时候想要一个应对机制，特别是在支持选择有限，并且对许多人来说，即使是与一个朋友或家人面对面社交都非常困难的疫情期间。但羞辱那些试图应对的人并不是解决问题的方法

You can’t blame someone for wanting a coping mechanism
I'm the carer for an alcoholic and since I'm always the one cleaning up the aftermath of their drinking dangerous amounts, then yeah I 100% can blame the person doing the drinking because "life's too hard". While the drinker is escaping reality, those close to them are living in a shit reality of having a drunk in their life.
“你不能责怪某人在极度紧张的时候想要一个应对机制”
我就是一个酒鬼的看护人，因为我总是负责清理他们过量饮酒的后果，所以我100%可以责怪那个因为“生活太艰难了”而酗酒的人。当饮酒者在逃避现实时，他们身边的人却生活在一个与酒鬼共存的糟糕现实中。

Comments here really show how unhealthy the nation’s relationship with alcohol really is.
Without doubt these are hard times for all, however if you’re finding it impossible to cope unless consuming excessive quantities of alcohol, then you should consider finding help.
The last thing anyone needs right now is serious alcohol related health issues, on top of everything that’s happening.
这里的评论真的显示出这个国家与酒精的关系是多么的不健康。
毫无疑问，这对所有人来说都是艰难的时期，然而，如果你发现除非摄入过量的酒精否则无法应对，那么你应该考虑寻求帮助。
任何人现在最不需要的就是与酒精相关的严重健康问题，而这就是目前正在发生的一切。

at the beginning of the pandemic i was drinking about 5 or 6 beers a night as I was finishing work at 4 and just sat on the sofa drinking for the rest of the night. fortunately i got out of that quite quickly.
在大流行开始的时候，我每天晚上喝5到6瓶啤酒，因为我4点就完成工作了，然后坐在沙发上喝一整晚。幸运的是，我很快就摆脱了这种习惯。

I only really drank at home the first few months of covid when literally nothing was open or happening and the weather was fantastic.
It was fantastic.
我只在感染新冠病毒的最初几个月在家喝酒，当时几乎什么都不开放，天气也很好。
那感觉很棒。

they don’t wanna legalise weed when it’s a less dangerous drug than alcohol. alcohol only exists here because it’s been drunk by the rich people for hundreds of years
i can guarantee you if alcohol was a recently found drug, it would be hard banned.
大麻的危险性比酒精还小，但他们不想让大麻合法化。酒之所以在这里存在，是因为几百年来富人都在喝它
我可以向你保证，如果酒精是一种新近发现的“毒品”，它将是很难被禁止的。

You can't ban alcohol because it's way too easy to make at home. And it's been drunk by everyone in every society around the world for thousands of years, certainly not just "the rich".
你无法禁止酒精，因为它太容易在家里自行制作了。几千年来，世界上每个社会的每个人都喝它，当然不仅仅是“富人”。

2 years of restrictions and pandemic stress, Brexit, Daily government scandals, Cost of living going up, Housing crisis, Climate crisis.
Yep, think it's fairly easy to see why people have been driven to drink a bit more...
两年的封锁和流行病压力，英国脱欧，每天的政府丑闻，生活成本上升，住房危机，气候危机。
是的，我认为这很容易理解为什么人们会被驱使喝更多的酒……
