Mortality due to alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) is rising, driven by recent and historically unparalleled increases among young people. 1 Flemming J.A. et al. Lancet Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2019; 4: 217-226 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (26) Google Scholar Changes in mortality vary from state to state, suggesting a complex interconnectedness between ALD, socioeconomic factors, and policy. 2 Tapper E.B. et al. BMJ. 2018; 362k2817 Crossref PubMed Scopus (271) Google Scholar Reduction in excessive alcohol consumption would result in a decreased burden of ALD mortality. Policies that reduce access to alcohol such as limits on sales, price controls, and taxes, may be the most effective tools. 3 Xuan Z. et al. Pediatrics. 2015; 136: 18-27 Crossref PubMed Scopus (38) Google Scholar ,4 Naimi T.S. et al. Am J Prev Med. 2014; 46: 10-16 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (85) Google Scholar Just as ALD mortality is variable across states, alcohol control policies also vary substantially. Herein, we aimed to determine the association of alcohol policies on variation and recent trends in ALD in the United States.
