42 per cent of people drink to make social gatherings more fun.
That's according to Drinkaware's recent Barometer, which also found 37 per cent of people would like to drink less alcohol.
The charity says with fewer social events happening after Christmas, it is the perfect opportunity to reassess drinking habits.
