The rise in U.S. alcohol-induced deaths is sobering.
Jessica Hockett, PhD
Because I usually look at drug-/alcohol-induced death data together, I had missed how high the alcohol deaths have been.
The U.S. saw a 25% increase in 2020 vs. 2019, with another 13% increase in 2021.
Roughly 25%-30% of the drug/alcohol death increase in the past two years has been from alcohol-induced deaths.
