People in the US are drinking more than they did earlier

THE TRUTH

People in the US are drinking more than they did 20 years ago. Researchers are attributing a variety of factors, including social, economic and ethnic influences and pressures, to this increase.

Researchers from the UT Southwestern School of Health Professions compared data of 1992 (with 42,862 respondents) and 2002 (43,093 respondents) across both sexes and three major ethnic groups, and noticed an increase in consumption of alcohol.

There was also a rise in drinking five or more drinks in a day (Caucasians, African-Americans, and Hispanics) and drinking to intoxication (Caucasians and African-Americans), but this was limited to those reporting such drinking at least once a month. The reasons for these changes, the researchers pointed out, are many and may involve complex sociodemographic changes in the population.
