“…49 Studies have demonstrated that PHP can significantly reduce alcohol use and negative consequences including alcohol-associated mortality. 49,78 A strong, multifaceted intervention approach is necessary to effectively decrease the burden of ALD. For example, national alcohol policies, though less implemented, have shown a strong association between lower ALD mortality and alcohol use disorder prevalence.…”

“…For example, national alcohol policies, though less implemented, have shown a strong association between lower ALD mortality and alcohol use disorder prevalence. 78 The control of alcohol production and sale through licensing and regulating outlet density, along with restrictions on sale days and hours, has proven effective in reducing alcohol consumption and related harm. Taxation strategies, including alcohol volumetric tax and setting minimum unit price (MUP), are particularly effective in reducing acute and chronic alcohol-related harms.…”

“…Stronger regulations and international agreements are needed to counteract the impact of alcohol marketing on young people. 78 Societal changes, such as sharing roles and increased workforce participation, have led to shifts in alcohol consumption patterns. Additionally, the rising stress levels associated with juggling family and work responsibilities may drive some women to use alcohol as a coping mechanism.…”

“…However, the effective implementation of PHP requires governmental oversight and the overcoming of barriers such as lack of political will and contradictions between alcohol industry efforts and public health strategies. 78 Furthermore, to reduce ethnic disparities on alcohol use and severity of ALD, data are needed on the social determinants of health. The clinic approach should also address cultural backgrounds associated with alcohol use and high-risk patterns.…”

Alcohol use is the most important determinant of the development of alcohol‐associated liver disease (ALD) and of predicting long‐term outcomes in those with established liver disease. Worldwide, the amount, type, and pattern of use of alcohol vary. Alcohol use and consequent liver disease have been increasing in certain ethnic groups especially Hispanics and Native Americans, likely due to variations in genetics, cultural background, socio‐economic status, and access to health care. Furthermore, the magnitude and burden of ALD have been increasing especially in the last few years among females and young adults who are at the prime of their productivity. It is critical to recognize the problem and care for these patients integrating cultural aspects in liver clinics. At the federal level, a societal approach is needed with the implementation of public health policies aiming to reduce alcohol consumption in the community. By addressing these challenges and promoting awareness, we can strive to reduce the burden of ALD, especially in high‐risk demographic groups to improve their long‐term health outcomes. Finally, we need studies and quality research examining these changing landscapes of demographics in ALD as a basis for developing therapeutic targets and interventions to reduce harmful drinking behaviours in these high‐risk demographic groups.

SummaryBackgrounds and AimsAlcohol use leads to disabilities and deaths worldwide. It not only harms the liver but also causes alcohol use disorder (AUD) and heart disease. Additionally, alcohol consumption contributes to health disparities among different socio‐economic groups.MethodsWe estimated global and regional trends in the burden of AUD, liver disease, and cardiovascular disease from alcohol using the methodology of the Global Burden of Disease study.ResultsIn 2019, the highest disability‐adjusted life years rate per 100,000 population was due to AUD (207.31 [95% Uncertainty interval (UI) 163.71–261.66]), followed by alcohol‐associated liver disease (ALD) (133.31 [95% UI 112.68–156.17]). The prevalence rate decreased for AUD (APC [annual percentage change] −0.38%) and alcohol‐induced cardiomyopathy (APC −1.85%) but increased for ALD (APC 0.44%) and liver cancer (APC 0.53%). Although the mortality rate for liver cancer from alcohol increased (APC 0.30%), mortality rates from other diseases decreased. Between 2010 and 2019, the burden of alcohol‐associated complications increased in countries with low and low‐middle sociodemographic index (SDI), contributing more significantly to the global burden.ConclusionThe global burden of AUD, liver, and cardiovascular disease has been high and increasing over the past decade, particularly for liver complications. Lower SDI countries are contributing more to this global burden. There is a pressing need for effective strategies to address this escalating burden.
