This report might make you think twice before you have a drink. Dangerous alcohol consumption was responsible for 3.3 million deaths worldwide, according to a new World Health Organization report.

Harmful alcohol use, can put people at a higher risk of over 200 disorders like tuberculosis and pneumonia. ”This actually translates into one death every 10 seconds, says ” Shekhar Saxena, head of the WHO’s Mental Health and Substance Abuse department. Men are more likely than women to experience alcohol-related deaths—though drinking among women is on the rise.

The report shows that 16 percent of drinkers partake in binge drinking (Uncontrollable drinking), which is the most dangerous form of alcohol consumption.

Countries with alcohol history are, Europe has the highest alcohol consumption per capita, though consumption levels have been stable there for the last five years. Consumption has remained stable in Africa and in the Americas, but it appears to be rising in Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific regions, according to WHO. China is estimated to grow its per capita consumption by 1.5 liters of pure alcohol by 2025.

The WHO says it would like to see a voluntary global target of a 10 percent reduction in harmful alcohol use by 2025.
