US Women Face Growing Alcohol Harm as Alcohol Deaths Rise

Brand new research in the United States reveals a distressing trend: the rate of deaths due to alcohol among women is seeing an unprecedented increase.
Extensive analysis of data sourced from the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, spanning over two decades shows that US women face growing alcohol harm at an alarming rate.
It is a development deliberately driven by alcohol companies and their marketing practices.
Nevertheless, alcohol harm prevention in women continues to receive insufficient attention and remains inadequately addressed in both policy and research endeavors. But effective alcohol policy solutions are available to better protect women and girls.
