A rising number of women are succumbing to alcohol-related deaths, a new study published in JAMA Network on July 28 found.
While males historically have been more than twice as likely to die from alcohol-related conditions than females, the gap appears to be narrowing.
Researchers from Hofstra University in New York, Harvard Medical School and the University of South Carolina analyzed nearly 606,000 deaths linked to alcohol between 1999 and 2020, based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data.
