Mean annual number of alcohol-attributable deaths between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2019. Numbers may not sum to totals due to rounding. Consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Alcohol-Related Disease Impact (ARDI) application,4 data pertain to excessive alcohol use, which includes deaths due to (1) conditions that are 100% alcohol-attributable, (2) acute conditions that involved binge drinking, and (3) chronic conditions that involved medium (>1 to ≤2 alcoholic drinks for women or >2 to ≤4 drinks for men) or high (>2 alcoholic drinks for women or >4 drinks for men) levels of mean daily alcohol consumption. For underlying chronic causes of death that were estimated in the ARDI application using indirect alcohol-attributable fractions that account for the risk of dying at 3 levels of mean daily alcohol consumption, self-reported mean daily alcohol consumption was adjusted to account for 73% of per capita alcohol sales.7
Ranges in percentage of total deaths by state were 22.4% to 33.3% for those aged 20 to 34 years; 12.2% to 29.1% for those aged 35 to 49 years; 6.4% to 16.1% for those aged 50 to 64 years; and 9.3% to 21.7% for those aged 20 to 64 years.
