Women in the United States are dying of alcohol-related causes at a growing rate, the U.S. government says. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a report on that issue in October. It found that in the United States more men than women die each year from alcohol-related causes. However, the rate of increase in deaths was higher for women. The study also found that more women are using alcohol to deal with restrictions meant to slow the spread of the new coronavirus. In many cases, women take care of the home and childcare. And now childcare often includes supervising online learning. These tasks are added to women’s work responsibilities inside or outside the home. This can lead to an increase in stress levels.
