Like most other countries Norway has experienced a substantial increase in alcohol consumption since world war II, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s. This development has been accompanied by an increase in the prevalence of heavy drinkers, and an increase in the frequency of drunkenness. The effects on mortality rates have been substantial. It is estimated that alcohol-related mortality from diseases due to long-term abuse have increased fourfold since world war II. Violent deaths due to alcohol intoxication have increased too. Furthermore, the increase in crimes of violence experienced after the mid-1960s is partly due to the increase in alcohol consumption.
与大多数其他国家一样，自第二次世界大战以来，挪威的酒精消费量大幅增加，尤其是在20世纪60年代和70年代。这一发展伴随着酗酒者患病率的上升以及醉酒频率的增加。对死亡率的影响相当大。据估计，自第二次世界大战以来，长期酗酒导致的与酒精相关的疾病死亡率增加了四倍。因酒精中毒导致的暴力死亡人数也有所增加。此外，20世纪60年代中期以后暴力犯罪的增加部分归因于酒精消费量的增加。
