a national course, a lot. roxanne, a solano tells us about one incident of mass binge drinking at the university in america. well, scotty, college students are on one of the groups. experts are worried about being strengthened as they're trying to make up for last year, separated from their peers or independent mac, university of massachusetts. as warning students about the new drink combination causing $28.00 am lenses to be called to off campus parties. tick tock is being blamed for circulating the drink trends. ingredients the social media platform is already in hot water. with the u. s. government as bills are being floated in congress to band tick tock, the drink, the boards, or blackouts rates. gallows is encouraging students to be in string. copious amounts of alcohol from gallon ducks to start with. the famous drink is training on tick tock with media showing work. recipes weren't selling this. i'm bored fonts.

most importantly, you have to name it and it's got to be something with borg. and so basically gens you just like trace this. students were seen carrying the jobs at the annual on sentient you. mass students, event learning blow up. they were seen naming their dogs with work ponds on social media. well, clearly intoxicated. rick, in the j. jason board, people in the comments clean. the goal is to have your own drink to bring to parties to prevent writing terms or getting sleep with a date, rape drop to start as promote drinking this combination of water and electrolytes and vodka, because they think it will help them stay hydrated while they drink. and then lastly, because it's only warranty um we're gonna add some liquid ivy, so we don't get hung over at midnight. i'm just going to throw this full time here . i just take it off. but this misconception is leading to alcohol poisoning is up

and then make we're seeing the rice and beans drinking during the funds i make. we saw an overall declining drinking most or isolated or at home as classes move online. group activities or parties were drinking, would be prevalent, simply were not happening. this isolation contributed to mental health problems and substance abuse across the board. and so even though we saw a lower amount of people drinking, there was a massive rising people, beans drinking. in 2020 alcohol death across the globe, increased by 20 percent cos in the world health organization to raise the alarm. for women, russia and australia have the highest numbers of alcohol. lisa dependence followed by norway, columbia, and hungry. russia, rates are stuff of the least for males suffering from alcohol. listen, followed by hungry before and you and south korea. however,

now we're back. people are going to parties, college bars and restaurants are open. again. the national institute of health is worried about what they're calling the alcohol deprivation effect. people tend to really rebound in drinking after a period of not drinking experts say, they're not expecting it to stop drinking. it is after all, a staple in our society. the us after work to one happy hours of 5 o'clock, we must, as a bronze or bloody marys or popping up some thing for a birthday. but it is important to rethink your drinking and make sure you stay within a safely ment. for 360 view, i'm kinda solano, back to the scottish today we are thrilled to be joined by dr. george cube, the director of the national institute on alcohol abuse and alcohol isn't at the national institute of health. we're so glad to have you today. let's get right into

it. dr. cube we are seeing a rising trend online with college students, posting videos about drinking boards or blackout rage and gallons these and makes half a gallon of odd care with electrolytes and students promote these as a way to help them stay hydrated while they drink. scientifically, is there any truth to this? to date, there's no real evidence to suggest that this approach has any harm reduction of the what did they, but there hasn't been much research on it. these are and basically you're talking about half a gallon of vodka, which, you know, if you're 40 percent alcohol, if diluted west of water you're, you're talking about, you know, the equivalent of, um you know, 2 bottles of wine and a minimum of $4.00 to $51.00 at that, so about 20 percent alcohol. and, and honestly if one person it just that you're,

you're really going to originally photos. so it's, it's, you know, it with the, you know, used to worry about students having not alcohol from punch falls. but the boards are like a self made punch, bowls to go. well, as we saw in our report, this misconception led to about 28 ambulances rushing to university of massachusetts for students suffering from alcohol poisoning. and you said you did think the electrolytes actually help. but there's been no research. what are the dangers, you know, of from drinking half a gallon of vodka. how's it? the simple answer is dest. okay? because basically, you know, you have in a half a gallon and like a about 40 standard rates or 40 shots a shot is $1.00 ounces. that's a standard drink for distilled beverages. 12 ounces of beer for beer. and 5 ounces

of wind as are a standard drink. and you know, when you, when a male drinks about 5 or a female for you're at point 08, which is the binge level. you double that, your point $16.00, which is at the blackout level. that's the name for boards, and if you double that, you're at the legal dose of alcohol, which is about point 35 gram percent. not the anybody's going to remember that, but you know, the legal limit is point away. it's a 4 times the legal limit, which is we consider a bench is basically the the least fault that is 50 percent for alcohol, for a person of, you know, $150.00 pounds. so you know, it, it, it, it, that's one of the dangers. i mean, you can then go down the list. i mean, you know, there can be a tax, the inability to operate, you know,

heavy machinery like an automobile. more likely to have accidents falling off of off a fence or a wall or, you know, many different things in that, in that realm. that that, that drinking in individual it on above not to mention blackouts, which is where you don't remember what transpired when you're drinking. and so i think anyone can imagine what problems that could lead to it in a part of the situation. now you said before, people were drinking at less during the pandemic. and are we seeing that people drink more? now during the pen, derek restaurants, we're close to people. actually, we're not going out to bottom was branches are going out to campus parties. people were drinking less. are we seeing an increase in drinking now that we are returning to normal? see, you know, you asked earlier about as a sonata as well as stablish and now coffee and what we call the alcohol deprivation effect. so people who have not been drinking for awhile for whatever

reason, and then resumed drinking often overshoot it. i hate to say it, but not only do people do it, but primary monkeys do it. let's do it in my stewart. okay, so this seems to be a universal phenomenon of over drinking when having been deprived. so that's, that's one thing that people should watch out for as, as the pandemic. um, you know, moves us back after, as a decline and pandemic issues moves us back to on our, our regular social interactions. so, you know, i think i think alcohol is when you go past a moderate drinking level becomes a passage. and i think you really need to understand that and understand that it, it, it, you know, it accounts for 5 percent of, of cancer in the united states. and that's according to the national cancer institute with whom we work at. and i age, of course,

we have heard of an increase in binge drinking. this is specifically amongst women . what are some of the concerns you have in the and i age with this increase and binge drinking? interesting past the dietary guidelines, which are 2 drinks a day for males wondering today for females, you basically increase the likelihood of problems associated with alcohol and, and they, you know, alcohol affects 200 different organs in the body and exacerbates many different disease conditions. everything from diabetes to, to heart disease, to problems with liver function. it in particular i'm half of liver disease desk now in the united states are attributable to alcohol. so you basically are seen a major concern about health in general with increased alcohol use. and, and, you know, i guess if there's anything i'd like to get across is that people understand what a standard drink is when we say to drink today. we're not talking about the new

yorker cartoon. i think it was in new york or proctor where, you know, i only have one glass of wine a day, but you know, the classes, the size of liter. so, you know, i think, i think that's an important issue that i think the public should understand what is a standard drinking and what is considered by the cdc. moderate drinking. again, it's tutoring today for males wondering today for females. so you said people were drinking less during the pandemic, but there were more deadly cases of drinking during that time. what led to this kind of deadly drinking during the pandemic locked down? um, it's possible we, we, we really don't have data, is that that fine grained of analysis? what we do now was that there was a 25 percent increase in tests associated with alcohol on death certificates. in the 1st year of the pandemic, that increased was sustained an increased even more in the 2nd year. the pandemic, there's the increased cirrhosis of the liver, and a number of liver transplants. during the period of the pandemic car crash,

fatalities increased for, for, for the 1st time. and in the long time in 2020 and the percentage of emergency room visits involving alcohol consumption also increased. and what we're picking up is that about 25 percent of individuals increase their consumption, but that group tends to be individuals who are drinking to cope with the stress distress that was associated with the pandemic. so it can include, you know, everything from job concerns to a lack of social interaction because we're, we were locked down for a long periods of time and, and also concerns about even getting sick from, from the virus. and you were very specific about men. a normal amount is about 2 drinks women and normal amount. just wondering in america, we recently have dealt with these mass shootings where people are very confused about the identity of the shooter who came out to be transferred or not transgendered. transitions are kind of coming about more,

more and more often it can cause sometimes confuse things when you're talking about these limits for drinking. do hormones or these transgender surgery is change that, or even if somebody transitioning, should we sticking to the biological amounts? when you say these limitations for male or female, you know, that's, that's, we just don't have any data on that. i mean, it's a good question. it's great science, different questions. but i really, you know, i think it mostly has to do the difference between males and females, and it's a small difference. and in some level, if you do, if you look at the alcohol chart, it is largely due to body water distribution. and so, you know, females in general have more body water, a less body water, excuse me, and more fat per kilogram than men. and because of that,

alcohol tends to hang out in the water component. men have more bonding water per kilogram than females. so that accounts for a slight change in blood alcohol level, but the other major changes that men are just larger than females. so i would think the body weight would trump everything else, to be honest with you and, but i don't have any data. it's a very good scientific question whether, you know, for model changes would, would affect the, the blood alcohol metabolism in an absorption. but for now i don't, i don't, you don't have any data that i'm aware of on that. thank you. i, dr. george cube, the director of the national institute on alcohol abuse and alcoholism at the national institute of health. now after the break, we're going to continue our conversation with dr tube and ask, what can we as individuals do to help identify or prevent this crisis from getting what the

the, i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people.

a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except we're so shorter is that conflict with the 1st law show alignment of the patient. we should be very careful about visual intelligence at the point, obviously is to create a trust rather than to the area. i mean with artificial intelligence, we have so many with the in the a robot must protect this phone existence with alexis and rick sanchez. and i'm here to plan with you. whatever you do. do not watch my new show seriously. why watch something that's so different. whitelisted all opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please or do they have the

state department, the c i a weapons, bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your facts for you. go ahead. change and whatever you do. don't want my show stay main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direction. but again, we don't wanna watch it because it might just change the way the.
