Alcohol consumption increased women's deaths by 67% in the last 10 years

Deaths from alcohol use have increased over the past 10 years, especially among women, revealed a new report. America's alcohol - related deaths rose 35 percent between 2007 and 2017.

Death rose by 67 percent among women alone. Data from Washington University, reported for the first time by USA Today, comes a year after federal data showed a sharp increase in alcohol drinking between women and elderly people. However, researchers say that since the greatest attention has been given to deaths from opioids in the United States, the number of alcohol victims has increased unnoticed.

IHME data was part of a large report that examined the rates and causes of death, birth rates, fertility compared with a global scale. This study took into observation all American states and showed that it is a particularly disturbing trend among women. Researchers say that high mortality is also linked to the body of women. And they have less water and more fat in their bodies.

The blood alcohol level increases faster and stays higher on women, so that the harmful effects of alcohol - even if a man and a woman drink a similar amount - will appear more quickly on women “. Alcohol can cause liver disease, cancer, accidents, and life - threatening problems. According to the new report by American experts, the rate of alcohol mortality is highest in Washington, DC, Georgia and Albama.
