Two thirds of men are drinking to cope during Covid-19, according to new research from Drinkaware.
57% of men reported to drinking weekly compared to 48% of women.
The study also found men are more than twice as likely to report binge drinking four or more times in a month.
Drinkaware chief executive Sheena Horgan says it's not just young men who are drinking to cope.
"Particularly with drinking to cope, that age group would be 25-34 year olds, but also 35-49 year olds during Covid-19.
"So we can see that the older age groups are under serious stress pressure, as indeed we all are to a certain degree anyway at this time."
