Men are nearly three times more likely than women to die from alcohol use in the United States, but a new report shows that gap has narrowed as the risk for women has grown, especially in recent years. For men, the rate of alcohol-related deaths has been on the rise since 2009, with particularly sharp increases each year since 2018. But the upward trend for women started at least a decade earlier and has been rising faster, on average, each year since.
But the gap between men and women has narrowed most among seniors age 65 and older. This shift doesn’t necessarily mean that senior women are drinking more, the researchers say. Instead, it could point to “the larger burden of accumulating harms of chronic alcohol use among female individuals.” A few biological differences make women more susceptible to the effects of alcohol, according to the researchers.
