Alcoholconsumption among Hyderabads men and Women seems to be much lower than those living in other parts ofTelangana.
At least thats what the latest National Family Health Survey (NHFS-5) data suggests. Its numbers show that about 43 per cent of men in thedistricts aged 15 to 49 years are liquor enthusiasts while the count in the city is just about 28 per cent. It is closely followed by Adilabad at 28.3 per cent.
The NHFS-5 data debunks another stereotype: That most working women drink in Hyderabad. In fact, according to it, women in the same age group figure at the bottom of the charts with a meagre 0.7 per cent of them consuming alcohol. Another intriguing revelation in the report comes from Khammam. The district that received over 7,000 applications in the recent liquor auction highest in the state has just 31.8 per cent of men who enjoy their alcohol.
Interestingly, its the small and rural district of Jangaon that has maximum men 60.6 per cent hitting the bottle. It is followed by Yadadari Bhongir district (58.4 per cent), Mahbubabad (56.5 per cent), Nagarkurnool (55.5 per cent), Warangal Rural (54.4 per cent) Medak (54 per cent) Jayashankar Bhupalpalli (53.1 per cent), Nalgonda (51.4 per cent) and Siddipet (50.3 per cent).
