More Americans are drinking alcohol in general, a new study finds, but perhaps more alarming is that many more fall into the categories of high-risk drinking and alcohol use disorder (AUD).

The increases were seen from the years 2001-2002 to 2012-2013 in a number of demographics.

In fact, the greatest increases in alcohol use were women, minorities, older adults, and people of lower socioeconomic status.

In this Episode of Press plus, we will learn about the drinking epidemic in the US.
