Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Objective: This paper describes current alcohol drinking patterns, prevalence of alcohol use, dependency and mortality related to alcohol in France. Evolution of alcohol consumption in France and Europe is discussed, as well as differences between males and females about alcohol consumption, morbidity and mortality related to alcohol use. Conclusions: Although almost all French people consume alcohol, consumption habits vary considerably between young people who mainly consume alcoholic drinks other than wine at weekends, and people over 65 years of age who drink mostly wine on a daily basis. These consumer habits also differ between girls and boys, and between adult men and women. It is therefore important to consider these various factors in order to define more appropriate prevention strategies. (From the author's abstract)
