People on the highest salaries drink more alcohol than any income group, new figures have shown.
Nearly one in five of Britain’s highest earners drink at least five days a week, according to new figures.
Binge drinking is also more common among people on top salaries than any other income group.
Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures show that 18% of people earning at least £40,000 a year drink frequently – more than twice as many (8%) as those earning below £10,000.
How many days a week do you drink?
The proportion of high earners who binge drink is even higher: almost one in four.
This compares with one in eight of people on the lowest salaries.
