Alcohol consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic projected to cause more liver disease and deaths

A one-year increase in alcohol consumption in the U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic is estimated to cause 8,000 additional deaths from alcohol-related liver disease, 18,700 cases of liver failure, and 1,000 cases of liver cancer by 2040. A sustained increase in alcohol consumption for more than one year could result in 19-35 percent additional mortality.
