Binge drinking and heavy alcohol consumption are related to increased all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, and injury.
Limit alcohol intake, specifically avoiding binge drinking patterns. Reducing heavy alcohol consumption is a critical factor in lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease and injury in this demographic.
