Exploring Shifts in Alcohol Consumption Post-COVID
During the first 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021), the number of alcohol-related deaths in the United States increased by nearly 38%. This training will review evolving trends in alcohol consumption patterns since the start of COVID-19, such as home drinking and the increase in online alcohol sales. The underlying reasons behind accelerated alcohol consumption, such as increased stress, social isolation, and blurred work-home boundaries, will also be explored. Additionally, this session will provide practical, evidence-based strategies to promote healthier alcohol consumption patterns.
