The number of Americans drinking themselves to death has more than doubled

Researchers from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism analyzed the death certificates of Americans ages 16 and up between 1999 and 2017. And while 35,914 deaths were alcohol-related in 1999, that number doubled to reach 72,558 in 2017. The death rate spiked 50.9% from 16.9 to 25.5 per 100,000.

What’s more, the CDC warned in a separate report on Thursday that binge drinkers (defined as four drinks during one occasion for women, and five drinks for men) are consuming more alcohol than they were before. The number of drinks they’ve knocked back spiked from 472 on average in 2011 to 529 in 2017, or a 12% increase.
And the number of binge drinks per adult who reported binge-drinking increased “significantly” in nine states, the report added, including Idaho, Indiana, Maine, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, and Virginia. But it decreased significantly in Massachusetts and West Virginia, and did not change significantly in the other 30 states or D.C.

And several reports have found that we’re drinking more and more alcohol: A 2018 meta-analysis of six national surveys suggests that between 2000 and 2016, the prevalence of alcohol use among people aged 18 and older in the United States increased roughly 4.4%, while binge drinking jumped about 7.7%. (Blame financial worries and debt, current events or the stress of having kids for driving people to drink — as well as the tendency for adults with graduate degrees to spend nine times more on booze than their less formally educated counterparts.)

The population is much fatter than ever before. Gotta drink more to catch a buzz.

I've been trying to not binge drink on the weekends. I'm a 1-3 beer a night guy on week nights, but I have a tendency to blow it out on either Friday or Saturday.
It's a hard habit to get out of when you've been doing it for some long.

When yearly numbers sound like your monthly numbers...

Friend,
It is sad and I see this deadly scourge infecting more and more each day. The Food Board, for instance, has become a haven for the lost and lonely to post pictures of their alcoholic beverages. A decade ago food was 99% of the discussion there. Today, I regret to inform you l, it is less than half.
Big Alcohol has wedged into all aspects of Western culture. To watch TV, especially sporting events, which I have rejected, is to sit before a commercial, nay, propaganda for the Alcohol Life, which is no life at all.
People are under the impression, foolishly, that alcohol can be good for them. There is no drug, however, that does more damage to the individual, the family, and society than alcohol.
Join me in standing against this cancer that quietly and thoroughly infects us. “Complete abstinence is better than perfect moderation.”
Steadfastly,
TulaneLSU

Yup.
On a gameday, I will probably knock back 15-18 throughout the course of the day. Not difficult to do if you're drinking 1.5 an hour, and you never really get trashed. You just piss a lot.

I don’t drink cause I’m not a fat bitch

The Corona virus is only in the new so Trump doesn't have any good publicity from this sham of an impeachment.
It's almost as if Democrats think people are too stupid to read Trump's transcripts with Ukraine.
