The show airs every evening between 1:00-5:00 a.m. EST on 77-WABC out of New York. Dr. Galati was discussing new data from the CDC on increased deaths from alcohol over the past few years.</strong></h3><p><br></p><h3>A new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealing a significant increase in alcohol-related deaths in the United States, with nearly 500 Americans dying each day in 2021. The spike began during the Covid pandemic and continued to rise after lockdowns in 2020. The study highlights a higher death rate among men but a quicker increase among women. Factors contributing to the surge include pandemic stress and increased availability of alcohol through home-delivery services. Binge drinking is also on the rise, particularly among middle-aged adults. Policy suggestions to address this issue include increasing alcohol prices through taxes, limiting sales, and promoting counseling. Additionally, new research is linking alcohol use even in moderation to harmful effects on health, debunking previous beliefs about the health benefits of alcohol, including red wine.</h3><p><br></p><h2>Links to alcohol related sites:</h2><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://wabcradio.com/podcast/frank-morano\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Frank Morano Podcas</a>t </p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/73/wr/mm7308a1.htm#:~:text=From%202016%E2%80%932017%20to%202020%E2%80%932021%2C%20the%20average%20annual,year%20(2020%E2%80%932021\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Increase Deaths from Alcohol </a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/chronicdisease/resources/publications/factsheets/alcohol.htm\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Excess Alcohol Use</a> </p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"(https://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/fact-sheets/binge-drinking.htm\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Binge Drinking</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://nccd.cdc.gov/DPH_ARDI/default/default.aspx\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Alcohol Related Death Impact </a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"(https://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/fact-sheets/moderate-drinking.htm\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Drinking Guidelines</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Where to find Dr. Joe Galati and his team:</strong></p><p>Dr. Galati's&nbsp;newsletter<a href=\"https://drjoegalati.com/subscribe/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">&nbsp;sign</a><a href=\"https://open.acast.com/-\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">-</a><a href=\"https://drjoegalati.com/subscribe/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">up</a></p><p>Medical Practice:&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.texasliver.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Liver Specialists of Texas</a></p><p>Dr. Galati's Book Site:&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.drjoegalati.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Eating Yourself Sick</a></p><p>Facebook:&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/drjoegalati/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. Joe Galati</a></p><p>Dr. Galati's&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/user/TexasLiverdotcom\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube Channel</a></p><p><br></p><p>Please send feedback and suggestion.&nbsp;<a href=\"https://drjoegalati.com/contact/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">You can message me here</a>.</p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Dr Joe Galati"}
