- Alcohol-related deaths have nearly doubled in 25 years, claiming over 54,000 lives in 2021 alone
- The steepest rise in alcohol-related deaths is seen among Native Americans, women, and young adults. Aggressive marketing, cultural shifts, and limited access to support make these groups especially vulnerable
- The COVID-19 pandemic magnified this emergency. Isolation, stress, and disrupted recovery services fueled relapses and dangerous drinking patterns
- Alcohol's long-term effects on the body are anything but benign. It damages your brain, destroys your liver, disrupts your ability to heal, and raises your risk of cancer
- Cutting off alcohol completely is the most powerful step you can take for health. Eliminating it restores resilience, prevents premature death, and gives your body the chance to thrive again
