Our latest editorial notes a surge in nonalcoholic beverages is a sign we are recovering from our COVID-19 hangover.
This editorial is a consensus opinion of the Daily Herald Editorial Board. Imagine that one day your entire world is disrupted. Your comfortable habits upended, your friends taken away from you. Your job altered or lost. You don't have to imagine it. You've lived through it.The Census Bureau tells us 127 million Americans reported having contracted COVID, 28% of whom are suffering long-term effects.
The Washington Post last week published a story that examined a surge in alcohol consumption during the pandemic -- and a big upturn in alcohol-related deaths. It wasn't just harmful habits we were developing. The number of deaths caused by alcohol rose more than 45% from 2018 to 2021, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But just as those of us have eased up on our Peanut M & M consumption and are no longer catching up regularly with our favorite pizza delivery drivers, we're beginning to rethink our relationship with booze.
