Description
Thirza Noordermeer and co-authors study, in a 2026 report, alcohol-related emergency visits by young adults in a Dutch university city. Heavy drinking sends many young people to hospital with poisoning or injury. The team compared their visits with those of older age groups.
Records covered two full years at one hospital, with 49,226 emergency visits in all. Alcohol played a role in 888 visits, and about a fifth of those were young adults aged 18 to 24. The team compared visit types, blood alcohol levels, tests done, and admissions across ages. Within the young group, they also checked student status and peak visiting hours. The patterns can help target prevention where and when it counts most.
