Regional variations in alcohol related problems in the countries of the United Kingdom and the English regions were studied for both men and women over varying periods of time using age standardised ratios. The indicators (obtained from several independent sets of data) show higher incidence of alcohol related problems in Scotland and Northern Ireland compared with those in Wales and England. Within England, the North, North Western and Thames regions exhibit a greater magnitude of alcohol related problems than Trent, South West and East Anglia. In general, the same geographical pattern of variation occurs for both men and women and is found to have persisted throughout the entire study period.
