This is comparable to the G7 and OECD average, but is significantly higher than in France where the 20% heaviest drinkers consume only about half of all alcohol (OECD, 2015). Data for Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States are for 2012 rather than 2013. Despite a decrease in the suicide rate in 2012, which based on estimated data from the Korean authorities continued in 2013 moving from 29.1 per 100 000 population in 2012 to 28.7 in 2013 (Korean Ministry of Health, 2016), suicide remains one of the major causes of death among teenagers in Korea.
