The graph below shows the alcohol-related deaths in 7 different countries and the average beer
consumption in 2005.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the description of the correlation of the
table that follows.

» Write at least 150 words.

The table chart illustrates the number of deaths caused by alcohol in 2005 in seven different
nations and beer consumption per person in these countries in 2002. Overall, the higher the
alcohol consumption was in a country, the higher deaths were recorded. The death cases among
men were more frequent than that of females.

The main observation here is that the average beer consumed by Czechs was 132 liters and the
alcohol-related deaths were 1,369,000, which was extraordinarily high compared to other
countries. Per capita consumption in Germany, Austria, and Ireland was 107, 106, and 104
liters, respectively and several deaths due to Alcohol were 1,185,000, 913,000, and 582,000. In
other words, the amount of beer consumption per person and the number of alcohol-related
deaths had a proportional relationship. However, despite the consumption of beer per capita in
Canada was lower than in Estonia and Lithuania, Canada observed a larger number of deaths.

Interestingly, comparing in terms of gender, men had a higher mortality rate associated with
intake of alcohol than women. This is especially evident in Lithuania where there was a tenfold
difference between 112,000 men and 13,000 women.

Expenditure (Pence per person per week) on fast foods, by income groups, UK 1990

Consumption of fast food per person in gram (1970-1990)

The provided column chart illustrates the average expense of three fast foods; hamburgers, fish
& chips, and pizza per person per week according to the three groups classified by wage in the
UK in 1990. The line graph depicts the consumption of three fast foods per person between
1970 and 1990. Generally, the British with high wages had more fast foods than the middle-
wage and low-wage classes. Also, each fast food eaten by the British had a significant
fluctuation.

The main observation here is that, as the bar graph suggests, affluent British had the largest
payment for fast foods, especially for hamburgers with 45 pence. The pizza and fish & chips
were far lower than hamburgers, however, the expense of pizza had recorded the highest
number among the three fast foods at roughly 18 pence. The average-wage group also preferred
hamburgers spending 33 pence, followed by fish & chips at 25 pence which was the highest
payment of the three groups. Finally, the low-wage group favored fish & chips the most at 17
pence, followed by hamburgers and pizza at 14 and 12 pence, respectively.

Interestingly, initially, the consumption per person of fish & chips per week was the most
chosen food of the three at 300 grammes. Hamburgers and pizza consumed less than 100
grammes in 1970, which was lower than one-third of the consumption of fish & chips. In the
following 20 years, hamburgers and pizza witnessed a considerable increase and it severally
reached 500 grammes and about 300 grammes. Despite its outstanding popularity, the
consumption of fish & chips consistently declined during the period and ended at nearly 200
grammes.
