CDC: 38 Million Americans Drink Too Much Alcohol

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A new report from the Centers for Disease Control shows tens of millions of Americans are drinking too much alcohol. And, the report finds that healthcare providers are not doing enough to tell people about the risks.

The CDC reports at least 38 million Americans drink too much.

While they say most are not alcoholics, excessive drinking can cause health and social problems.

The CDS recommends “all” adults have an honest chat with their doctors.

Researchers say alcohol screening and counseling can reduce a binge drinker’s consumption by as much as 25 percent.

I never had a cholesterol problem until I quit drinking.The problem was that other issues surfaced where I had to stop drinking period because I couldn't moderate it.I admire people who are casual drinkers and no more because for me it was all or nothing.

"All" Americans?? Even the ones that don't drink at all?
How about we try Prohibition again? It worked so well the last time....
These bureaucrats will not stop bothering us until they have made us all conform to what THEY think is the perfect way of life (mainly, do what the shepherd tells you to do).
What they are doing now is "suggesting". Next, it won't be so elective.
Keep cheering.
