Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)
Alcohol-Related Deaths
Economists as well as healthcare and addiction specialists agree the pandemic and quarantines of 2020 had a significant impact on nationwide alcohol consumption. As a result, statistics from this period may be misleading. Online liquor sales rose 262% year-over-year (YoY) in the first 3 weeks of March 2020, coinciding with most state-wide lockdowns. Liquor store sales increased 54% YoY during that same time period. In a Johns Hopkins-University of Maryland-Baltimore survey, 60.1% of participants report drinking more alcohol after March 1, 2020. 34.1% report binge drinking at least once; 7.0% report extreme binge drinking. 45.7% report increased stress as a reason for their increased drinking. Other reasons for increased drinking include increased alcohol availability (34.4%) and boredom (30.1%).

Understanding Alcoholism
BEFORE WE CAN SOLVE A PROBLEM WE FIRST NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM…
Understanding alcoholism requires recognizing it as a chronic, progressive disease characterized by an inability to control alcohol consumption despite negative consequences. Alcoholism, also known as alcohol use disorder (AUD), is influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Individuals with alcoholism may experience cravings, tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms when they attempt to cut back or stop drinking. Moreover, alcoholism can have serious repercussions on physical health, mental well-being, and relationships. By acknowledging alcoholism as a complex condition that requires comprehensive treatment, including therapy, support groups, and possibly medication, individuals and their loved ones can begin the journey toward recovery and a healthier, alcohol-free life.
