Youth alcohol use cools post-pandemic, but midlife health risks rise

Youth alcohol use cools post-pandemic, but midlife health risks rise

A study in the Annals of Internal Medicine finds Americans drank slightly less after the pandemic (about a 1% drop from 2022 to 2024), though overall use remains higher than in 2018. Gen Z and Millennials led the declines, with Gen Z reducing drinking and Millennials cutting heavy drinking, but heavy drinking among adults aged 50–64 has risen since 2018. Health risks from alcohol—such as high blood pressure, stroke, liver disease (now a leading cause of liver transplants), and cancer deaths—remain a concern, particularly for older adults, signaling uneven progress across age groups.

"Rising Alcohol Consumption Among Older Americans"

"Rising Alcohol Consumption Among Older Americans"

Public health officials are increasingly concerned about the rising alcohol consumption among older Americans, with the annual number of alcohol-related deaths exceeding 178,000 from 2020 through 2021. Factors contributing to this trend include the pandemic, stress, and a generational cohort effect. Older adults are more likely to drink frequently and engage in binge drinking, which poses greater health risks for them, including exacerbating cognitive decline, interacting with prescription drugs, and increasing the risk of falls and certain diseases. Efforts to combat this issue include raising the federal tax on alcohol and eliminating barriers to treatment, as treatments for excessive alcohol use are effective for older patients.
