Island booze survey shows less approval for drinking but more for drunkenness

A new survey shows fewer people on the Island approve of drinking, compared to the Channel Islands.

Island Global Research, based in Guernsey, carried out a survey about attitudes towards alcohol.

89 per cent of Manx residents said they approved of moderate alcohol use, compared to 91 per cent in Jersey and 92 per cent in Guernsey.

And 32 per cent of the Isle of Man thought getting drunk was OK - while only 30 per cent thought the same in Guernsey.
