Who Dies the Most from Binge Drinking?

Talk about a sobering stat: Middle-aged guys make up the majority of binge-drinking deaths each year, finds a new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

According to the report, six people die in the U.S. every day as a direct result of alcohol poisoning, mostly from binge drinking. And guys old enough to know better are leading the pack. Men aged 35 to 54 make up 55 percent of these drinking-related deaths in men, and 42 percent of them overall—including both men and women.
