Deaths From Excessive Alcohol Use on the Rise in the US: What We Know and What We Can Do (Recording)
Alcohol-related deaths have been increasing during the past two decades, and particularly in recent years. However, most studies focus only on deaths that are fully caused by alcohol use and do not also consider causes of death that are partially caused by alcohol use, such as injuries, motor vehicle crashes, certain types of cancer, and heart disease. This presentation describes the most recent data available on deaths from excessive alcohol use in the United States using a comprehensive measure that accounts for 58 causes of alcohol-related deaths, as well as trends in these deaths. It also discusses resources on effective strategies for reducing excessive drinking and alcohol-related harms, including deaths, to promote improved health and well-being.
