The number of deaths in alcohol accidents in Denmark was between 26 and 41 over the past 10 years. In 2022, there were a total of 29 deaths in alcohol-related incidents. Most alcohol related deaths affected people aged between 25 and 44 years, and between 45 and 64 years. In 2022, there were nine and 11 alcohol related deaths in these age groups, respectively.
Gender comparison
Noticeable is that the number of male deaths due to alcohol related accidents was higher than the number of female deaths in every year of the ten-year period from 2009 to 2022. A number of 25 Danish men and four Danish women died in 2022 in accidents involving alcohol. Compared to the other Nordic countries, Denmark has quite low restrictions on the sales of alcohol. It can be bought easily in all kinds of supermarkets and convenience stores.
Total number of deaths
The total number of deaths in Denmark has increased gradually since 2019. In 2022, nearly 60,000 Danes died. In this year, the difference between the number of deaths between both genders was very low as only a little more men than women died.
