description Alcohol poisonings represent the direct consequences of excess alcohol consumption. In 2014, in Germany 115,967 persons aged 10 to 79 years were treated as in-patients with the diagnosis “acute alcohol intoxication”.

In the past 14 years, the number of alcohol poisonings involving in-patient treatment amongst children, adolescents and adults has more than doubled. The need to prevent excessive alcohol consumption remains a key objective. Preventive measures should begin while children are still at an early age and in adolescence.
