Alcohol is killing more Americans, a new study warns, with deaths from alcohol abuse doubling every year since 1999.
That may be due to their physiology."Because women reach higher blood alcohol levels than men of comparable weights after consuming the same amount of alcohol, their body tissues are exposed to more alcohol and acetaldehyde, a toxic metabolite of alcohol, after each drink," the authors added."I wish I had a good answer, but I just don't," White said.
Dr. J.C. Garbutt is a professor of psychiatry at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine's Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies. He, too, said the study highlights the nation's worrisome spike in deaths of despair. Alcohol provides a temporary coping mechanism. It temporarily reduces anxiety and tension, sometimes elevating mood, reducing pain and sometimes leading to brief respites from one's worries, he said.
