Alcohol is killing Americans at a rate not seen in The Last Years, according to new federal data.
Have you ever wondered just how serious the issue of alcohol abuse has become in America? In this eye-opening episode of 'Recovery Elevator', hosts Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen tackle a startling article from the Alaska Dispatch News that reveals some grim statistics. With over 30,700 Americans dying from alcohol-induced causes in the past year, the numbers are both shocking and sobering.
This episode doesn't just throw numbers at you; it dives into the stories behind them, exploring how alcohol has quietly become one of the deadliest substances out there, even surpassing heroin and cocaine in individual use lethality. The hosts discuss the thin line between 'moderate use' and 'dangerous use', shedding light on how easy it is to cross that line without realizing it.
One proposed solution to this growing crisis is raising federal alcohol taxes, which are currently at historically low levels. But it's not just about policy changes; Paul and Kris share their own personal battles with alcohol, making the episode relatable and deeply human. They offer practical advice and resources for those looking to step away from alcohol, emphasizing that it's about saying yes to a better life, not just saying no to booze.
Whether you're struggling with alcohol yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a sense of community. Tune in to understand the gravity of the situation and find out how you can take steps towards a healthier, alcohol-free life.
