Answer 2

Data is not available for the entire world as many anomalies on the cultural references required to identify New Years Eve and what constitutes suicide. However in the USA the in the 1970s the average suicide rate over the year was 34 suicides/million people. This falls to on New Years Eve to 30/million and rises on on New Years Day to 41/million. Presumably they want to have on last party on the Eve and suicide on the Day as they are back to their humdrium life.
