Relaxed drinking increasingly a weekly habit among Dutch people

A third of Dutch people drink alcohol at least once a week, according to a recent poll. It is no longer just about social obligations, but increasingly about conscious relaxation. The source reports that the ritual of a weekly drink has become a fixed part of many people's routines.

According to Dossier Mastenbroek, there is a shift in the reasons for drinking. While it used to be mainly about socialising with others, it now also seems to be a personal way to relax. How this trend will develop further remains a topic of conversation.

The poll does not provide any conclusions about possible effects on health or alcohol use in specific groups, such as women in menopause. The research is limited to the general habits of Dutch people.
