In past recent years, the public health experts have highly stressed on overdose deaths from heroin and prescription painkillers, which have risen rapidly since the early 2000s.
Compared with statistics from 2002, a 37 percent increase has occurred with respect to the number of alcohol-induced deaths in 2002, the Post reported, with 2014 witnessing more booze-binging related fatalities than every year on record since 1979. 30,722 were killed by alcohol while 28,647 people were killed by prescription drugs and heroine together. “Since the prevalence of heavy drinking tends to follow closely with per capita consumption, it is likely that one explanation for the growth in alcohol-related deaths is that more people are drinking more”, said Duke University’s Philip Cook, who was not involved in the study.
Mr. Cook notes that when you adjust the alcohol fatality rates for age, the increase narrows somewhat. For those who drink less, the line between moderate and unsafe can be a thin one. While 47,9% women drank in 2002, 51,9% women drank in 2012. Incidentally, just like men, women too, are increasingly indulging in binge drinking. Previous research showed that two drinks a day can keep you healthy, encouraging thus people to take up this unhealthy habit. And a prior research by Cook showed some drinkers consume plenty of alcohol, with the top 10 percent of American adults consuming on average 74 drinks a week.

The percent of women who reported binge drinking has also increased. But for alcohol, they are lower.
