Ok so the article is from 2024 but seems to be referencing up to 2022. That’s quite a reporting delay. Also does anyone have access to the full article?

I guess the concerning part is that it’s sticking around longer than from other mass trauma events:

“People assumed this was caused by acute stress, like what we saw with 9/11 and Katrina, and typically it goes back to normal after these stressful events are over,” he added. “But that’s not what we’re seeing.”

I know I went from barely drinking to almost a bottle of wine a night. I had to make a lot of life changes to bring it back down, it was very bad.

Technically speaking alcohol is a solution. And everybody knows the best kind of correct is technically.

Ahh alcohol, the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems.

Short term cheaper, long term much more expensive. Like all things when you're broke.

slippery slope into a grave... no doubt

Slippery slope to a poisoned nation, with a long tail of carnage and collateral damage. I can understand the motivation to indulge though.

Or into difficult to manage chronic problems later in life. It's a spectrum, like everything

You mean "they still do"? Because obviously they, we, still are... minus those that died since and plus those that were born.

Right or wrong, I believe the intended message was, "[They] began drinking more. They still are (drinking more)."

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

"They" in this sentence denotes Americans collectively, not just Americans who drink. Although yes, in actual fact outside the world of grammar, it's only the alcohol-drinking Americans who are consuming more alcohol, the sentence doesn't break "Americans" into subgroups in the way that your sentence implies.

I mean, it's not like things have gotten better.
