Alcohol Abuse Is on the Rise, but Doctors Too Often Fail to Treat It

People with alcohol use disorder are often seen in clinics and hospitals, but medical professionals too often ignore the condition.

Alcohol use linked to more than 700K cancer cases last year.

The medical world should just make one article that says excess consumption

True, but this applies mostly to ...

When publishing is required and this stuff is easy to get published

Definitely seems like the government needs to jump in and do something about this health crisis.

Filter the drinks through a mask.

This is the one case where the pee your pants analogy actually works... I'm in.

Um, didn't they already? Didn't seem to work out very well

nephicoug

Compliance was poor. Everyone needs to remain committed to masking up everywhere.

CrimWalCoug

8/3/21 4:46pm

You recognize that alcoholism/drunkenness isn't contagious, right? But of course

BlooGeek

8/3/21 4:47pm

Yup. If you want to be unvaxxed, knock yourself out, but you need to be

LiveCoug

8/3/21 4:48pm

Lol why? Vaxxed or not you’re still spreading covid around. Now they’re saying

bigbossbyu

8/3/21 5:01pm

Umm...because you're ~95% less likely to have it in the first place

BlooGeek

8/3/21 5:04pm

Not at all true

bigbossbyu

Care to cite your source? Mine is science.

Science is based on data. No data, no science. Bad data, bad science.

bigbossbyu

8/3/21 5:35pm

Lol. If you are vaxxed, you have a much less likely chance of getting COVID

LiveCoug

8/3/21 5:13pm

That narrative will change soon enough and be blamed on the unvaxxed somehow

bigbossbyu

8/3/21 5:50pm

Because you are keeping the pandemic going! You are infecting vaxxed (no one

LiveCoug

8/3/21 6:08pm

How am I keeping the pandemic going? Barley changed my lifestyle last year

bigbossbyu

8/3/21 6:18pm

You aren't going to do the right thing and get the vax. There are too many like

LiveCoug

8/3/21 6:25pm

Oh well. Go ahead and label me as less of a person and don’t let me attend BYU

bigbossbyu

8/3/21 6:26pm

And I love how you always sad face anyone who questions the vaccine on CB😂

bigbossbyu

8/3/21 6:33pm

"the right thing"... how about giving the sanctimony a break?

Division Bell

8/3/21 7:36pm

Sure thing. Please get the vaccine.

LiveCoug

8/3/21 7:44pm

I did. I just think it's wrong to get aggressive with the sanctimony towards others who choose not to.

Division Bell

8/3/21 8:10pm

Since only the vaccinated have any form immunity

niqmadu

8/3/21 8:33pm

That's about the stupidest thing I've heard.

Drunk driving fatalities are very contagious.

Cougarclaw

8/3/21 4:53pm

Just minding their own business when BAM!.. They get taken out by the selfish actions of others. Absolutely contagious.

Division Bell

8/3/21 4:54pm

As are abusive parents and spouses.

777

8/3/21 4:58pm

Which is why drunk driving is illegal. You didn't read all of my post did you?

BlooGeek

8/3/21 5:05pm

Still need to mandate a purity card and a blow-to-drive device on every truck, car, van, motorcycle, scooter and bicycle

Division Bell

8/3/21 5:08pm

If driving drunk could effect you seemingly at random, yes... absolutely.

rtNelson

8/3/21 7:54pm

It's a shame that sarcasm is so easily missed. It's also a shame that people think everyone is guilty and need restraint

Division Bell

8/3/21 8:13pm

Yeah, my bad. You were being sarcastic!

rtNelson

8/3/21 8:17pm

BUT it's just as deadly to others around them... one every 52 seconds

Xenon

8/3/21 4:55pm

It doesn’t have to be contagious to impact

BlackHawkCoug

8/3/21 4:55pm

Correct. There are fortunately no deleterious effects of alcohol that impact ...

MormonDevil

8/3/21 6:06pm

Plus Drunk Driving, Plus Obesity, Plus crimes while intoxicated...

Xenon

8/3/21 4:46pm

Just more funny and exciting Super Bowl commercials pushing it.

777

8/3/21 5:09pm

That's true ...since they can't actually advertise the PRODUCT...

Xenon

8/3/21 6:14pm

So, basically, it is an incredibly small number...

Solomon Levi

8/3/21 4:51pm

Probably. I don't know how many adults engage in "risky and heavy drinking."

SierraCoug

8/3/21 4:55pm

Probably not as many as who engage in risky and heavy eating.

SoCalCoug

8/3/21 4:57pm

Yes, and how many do both? It's complicated.

SierraCoug

8/3/21 4:59pm

1 in every 25 new cancer cases is attributable to alcohol consumption

NewMexiCoug

8/4/21 10:12am

And govt kept liquor stores open during the shutdown, but not churches. Good job

WB Coug

8/3/21 4:52pm

Despite the political mileage this rec’d, I see it as a large gathering for hrs

CorndogStickshift

8/3/21 6:20pm

Our society engages in many risky behaviors, yes, including alcohol use,
