The Alcohol Program was established in CDC’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion in 2001. Since then, the field of public health has made great strides in recognizing excessive alcohol use, particularly binge drinking, as a public health problem in the United States. See some of the milestones and the CDC Alcohol Program's contributions. |
| The Alcohol Program has released Measuring Alcohol Outlet Density: A Toolkit for State and Local Surveillance, which was developed in partnership with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists. This toolkit provides steps for using several alcohol outlet density indicators for surveillance in states and local jurisdictions. It is a companion to the CDC Guide for Measuring Alcohol Outlet Density, and provides analytic code, screenshots, and guiding questions to help teams accomplish the six steps outlined in the guide. It also adds a seventh step on visualization, reporting, and communication. |
A study published in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, led by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, reports that following the legalization of retail (nonmedical) marijuana in Colorado on January 1, 2014, one third of Colorado adults who binge drank used marijuana compared with one tenth of nondrinkers during 2015–2019. To reduce excessive alcohol and tobacco use and reduce alcohol- and tobacco-related harms, the Community Preventive Services Task Force recommends the use of evidenced-based strategies such as increasing price and reducing access to alcohol and tobacco products. Similar strategies of limiting availability and increasing prices of marijuana (in states where marijuana sale and use is legal) might also be effective for reducing marijuana use and its potential harms. | |
