Surprising New Details about Alcohol Poisoning Deaths in New CDC Report
Alcohol poisoning kills more than six people each day in America, according to a new report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released today. The data shows that alcohol poisoning -- a result of binge drinking -- kills more than 2,200 Americans a year, but 70 percent of them weren't identified as alcoholics. The survey is interesting because it points toward a new alcohol poisoning demographic that addiction experts weren't aware of, said psychologist Paul Rinaldi, PhD, who directs the Addiction Institute of New York, Mount Sinai Roosevelt and Mount Sinai St. Luke's.
