Binge-drinking has spiked in these 9 states. Can you guess which ones?
over the last two decades, according to a sobering new report.
What’s more, the CDC warned in a separate report on Thursday that binge drinkers 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. The death rate related to alcohol was also higher among people ages 55 and 64 in the new report, which is supported by a recent report that found that binge drinking among Americans over 50 jumped 19% between 2005 and 2014. And by ethnicity, non-Hispanic American Indians and Alaska natives had the highest alcohol-related death rates.
Indeed, the 2016 Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries and Risk Factors Study,” a meta-analysis of nearly 600 studies published in The Lancet last year, listed alcohol consumption as the seventh leading cause of death and disability world-wide. “Our results show that the safest level of drinking is none,” it said.
