The number of deaths caused by alcohol-related diseases in America more than doubled from under 20,000 in 1999 to nearly 50,000 in 2020, particularly affecting younger adults.
Among adults aged 25 to 34, fatality rates linked to alcohol surged nearly fourfold from 1999 to 2020, highlighting a growing public health crisis among younger populations.
Women, while less likely to die from alcohol-related illnesses than men, experienced a significant spike, with death rates increasing 2.5-fold over the two decades studied.
The overall data points to a grave correlation: those consuming moderate to large amounts of alcohol face a notably heightened risk of early death and disability.
