Mortality was age-standardized using the European Standard Population, and measures for both relative and absolute inequalities between low and high socioeconomic groups were calculated. Rates of alcohol-related mortality are higher inlower socioeconomic groups in all countries. Both relative and absolute inequalities are largest in Eastern Europe, and Finland and Denmark also have very large absolute inequalities in alcohol-related mortality. Over time, relative inequ
