Across the European area, health professionals are becoming more and more concerned with studying the effects of relationships with substances, food and habits both at individual and population level. Alcohol consumption is at an all-time high in the UK and Ireland. At the periphery of the European area, these two countries sometimes exhibit trends that are quite separate from that of the rest of Europe, but very similar to each other. Research has demonstrated that, as a mind altering substance, alcohol does have some effect on mental health and this is evident in instances of both consumption of large and of small amounts. Surveys such as “The health and lifestyle survey” in the UK and proposals such as “Towards a Framework for Implementing Evidence Based Alcohol Interventions” by the Health Service Executive in Ireland seek to investigate the burden of the issue and deduce constructive methods of dealing with this burden. This literature review will investigate these and similar documents to compare the effect that alcohol has on mental health in the UK and Ireland.
