Pandemic And Drinking Problems

A new survey suggests Americans are using a lot of alcohol to cope with the COVID pandemic. Dr. Brett Ginsburg with the University of Texas health system is not surprised. The Harris Poll shows nearly one in five Americans are consuming an unhealthy amount of alcohol. That’s defined as four drinks a day for women and five drinks a day for men. Dr. Ginsburg says that type of drinking needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.
