Deaths from Excessive Alcohol Use — United States, 2016–2021 from CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, Vol. 73, No. 8, Feb 29, 2024
"About 178,000 people died in 2021 from excessive drinking, compared with 138,000 in 2016. During that period, the deaths rose by 27 percent among men and 35 percent among women." Cheers to pandemic hobbies?
this is quite an anti-drug article. Raise prices? Limit access? Research shows that even a little bit can mutate DNA..? Drinking 100 years ago was way worse and that's how we got prohibition. Hope we don't go back in that direction.
Could you share any evidence-based arguments against the evidence-based statements and recommendations summarized in the article? What fatal flaws undermine the research in the linked CDC page[1] establishing a causal link between alcohol consumption and DNA damage and increased risk of cancers of the mouth and throat, larynx, esophagus, liver, colon and rectum, and breast in women?

Died of alcohol or with alcohol?
I’m also wondering what is considered “dying of alcohol”. Is it only when you drink so much that you die directly from the drinking? Or is it including drunk driving and the like?

All sorts of things elevate all kind of risks of cancer, but this is one of the few we moralize this way.

because those other things, on the whole, do not destroy people and their families in as acute a manner as alcohol and alcoholism do.
