In France, alcohol kills tens of thousands of death each year. Alcohol-related deaths are the second cause of 'avoidable deaths' in France, behind tobacco. French men in particular appear to suffer from high mortality rates due to alcohol. In 2017, 30,000 men died from alcohol-related causes against 11,000 women. The latest figures available derived from similar studies show that alcohol-related deaths are falling.
