"It has never been easier to be intoxicated all day, every day in the United States ... In 1950, the typical American would have had to spend 75 percent of his or her daily pay (after taxes) to buy a bottle of vodka." nytimes.com/2026/06/01/opini… @nytopinion @germanrlopez

Today, we dive into a unique liver crisis emerging in the US due to our high rates of metabolic disease (obesity, type 2 diabetes) & heavy alcohol use. That combo is driving liver disease in younger adults who may not even know the damage they're doing. statnews.com/2026/05/13/live…

A new kind of liver crisis is emerging in the U.S. The American diet is to blame

Young people and women are particularly vulnerable to MetALD, a dangerous merging of metabolic disease and alcohol use.

Inconsistent screening in the U.S. means many patients aren’t getting help for unhealthy drinking. statnews.com/2026/05/12/alco…

Despite its toll, alcohol is still an awkward subject in the doctor’s office

Alcohol screening and counseling are too often compressed or skipped during doctor's visits — a gap that is costing patients and the health care system.

Alcohol kills more Americans each year than all other drugs combined. Why does the U.S. ignore its most harmful substance use crisis? statnews.com/2026/05/12/amer…

Alcohol is wreaking havoc on U.S. public health. American society looks the other way

The Deadliest Drug, a new investigative series, shows that the alcohol epidemic is a generational failure of the medical and public health systems, of industry, and of government.

NYC is saying the quiet part out loud: Alcohol causes cancer. New campaign warns 1 drink/day increases risk of multiple cancers & no level of alcohol use is risk-free. This is public health leadership. Question: Who’s next? nyc.gov/site/doh/about/press…

Cheaper alcohol means more drinking. More drinking means more harm. More cancer, violence, addiction, preventable deaths. Should alcohol policies protect profits or people? Stop prioritizing the alcohol industry’s bottom line over Americans' public health. pbs.org/newshour/world/trump…

Trump says he's lifting certain tariffs on Scotch whisky after royal visit

“The King and Queen got me to do something that nobody else was able to do, without hardly even asking!” President Donald Trump posted on social media.
