Alcohol-related deaths jumped during COVID-19 pandemic

Alcohol-related deaths increased during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to researchers.
In a study published earlier this month, authors from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism found that the number and rate of deaths increased approximately 25% between 2019 and 2020 – from 78,927 to 99,017.
In addition, alcohol-related deaths accounted for 2.8% of all deaths in 2019 and 3% in 2020.
Although the alcohol deaths rose for everybody, people ages 25 to 44 experienced the greatest increases in alcohol-related deaths in 2020.
The rates of deaths increased before the pandemic, but less rapidly.
The rate increase for alcohol-related deaths in 2020 outpaced the increase in all-cause mortality, which was 16.6%.
The institute – a division of the National Institutes of Health – used U.S. mortality data from the National Center for Health Statistics to compare the numbers and rates of alcohol-related and all-cause deaths among all individuals 16 years or older in 2019 and 2020.

Biden is fixing that as no one will be able to afford alcohol going forward.
One more feather in his cap.

My friends and I all agree our boozing went up when restaurants shut down. We sat around at each others places and just hung out.
We were all having cookouts with each other, and staying over late drinking and hanging out after, instead of going to dinner, having a few, and going home/bed etc.
The restaurant shutdowns are to blame!

I have to admit I started drinking A LOT more during covid. I'm trying to start cutting down because I know this shite's not doing my liver any favors.

My brother in law relapsed after 18 years of sobriety. The lockdowns and staying home were brutal on people with major addiction issues.

Everyone capable of critical thinking knew this all would happen.

Liquor stores were open but AA meetings shut down. Of course this isn’t solely to blame, but just another thing that highlights how ridiculous the response was.

Yea, as much as there were Covidians here on the board, this place was actually a refuge of sanity for me when it came to Covid, a lot of people here nailed the whole thing from basically the beginning.

People dying from Covid is way more important than people dying from alcohol/drugs/suicide according to the mentally ill.

Best choice ever made was when I gave up the bottle and booz. 2 years clean this September.

I'm probably drinking more than I ever have. To the point I'm counting the days now between drinking.
My last checkup I had "elevated enzymes" on the liver.
Not sure it's related but probably is. Course my test was the morning after I probably drank too much.

People were getting furloughed and receiving more money weekly than there paycheck. It was mid March/early April. Everybody was drinking that first month when “if you quarantine for two weeks….”

Oh you think humans will give up booze because the good stuff is pricy? I can get you some booze, by 3:00 this afternoon. Believe me, Dude, there are ways.

This is unfortunately what killed Scott Hall. He was doing very well in his recovery with DDP's help, but the isolation around covid turned him back to alcohol and his health just sharply declined in the last year

I agree with your sentiment but poor people always find ways to ingest booze.
Hell, prisoners make toilet wine
