Many December parties and get-togethers involve alcoholic beverages; often these situations involve more alcohol than people usually drink at other times during the year. For this reason, the CDC.gov Data & Statistics feature is highlighting responses to the following question from the 2010 (January-June) National Health Interview Survey (NHIS): "In the past year, on how many days did you have five or more drinks of any alcoholic beverage?"
Estimates are based on household interviews of a sample of the civilian noninstitutionalized U.S. population.
Overall, 23.0% of adults aged ≥18 years had five or more alcoholic drinks in 1 day at least once in the preceding year. For both men and women, the percentage generally decreased with age. In all four age groups, men were substantially more likely than women to have had five or more drinks in 1 day at least once in the preceding year. The percentage of whites who reported five or more alcoholic drinks in 1 day at least once during the preceding year, at 27.7%, was more than twice the percentage of blacks (12.6%) and significantly higher than Hispanics or Latinos (19.8%)
Excessive alcohol use, either in the form of heavy drinking (drinking more than two drinks per day on average for men or more than one drink per day on average for women), or binge drinking (drinking 5 or more drinks during a single occasion for men or 4 or more drinks during a single occasion for women), occurs in approximately 15% of the United States population. Moreover, excessive alcohol use is the 3rd leading lifestyle-related cause of death for people in the United States each year.

When you’re ordering the new Starbucks “trenta” you’re not only getting a massive drink (31 ounces) but also a massive amount of calories (up to 600), with the potential to pack on more than 60 extra pounds in one year.

“An extra 200 calories per day will lead to a weight gain of about 2 pounds per month, or 21 pounds per year, so an extra 600 calories could mean an increase in weight of upwards of 63 pounds in a year,” said Jessica Bartfield, MD, an internal medicine and medical weight-loss specialist at Gottlieb Memorial Hospital, part of the Loyola University Health System.
A normal cup of coffee is considered to be 6 to 8 ounces, and studies have suggested that 1 to 2 cups of caffeinated coffee daily can have health benefits. “The new ‘trenta’ will offer 4 to 5 cups of coffee in one serving, and unfortunately the additional caffeine will not ‘burn off’ the excess calories,” Dr. Bartfield said.
“People need to recognize that these drinks are not necessarily innocent ways to quench our thirst, boost our energy or satisfy a sweet tooth,” she said. “Drinks are rather sneaky sources, usually, of empty calories – nutritionally deplete.”
Gottlieb offers a medically supervised weight-loss program involving physicians, nutritionists, exercise physiologists and behavioralists to establish positive lifestyle habits that lead to achieving a healthy weight.
“Increasing sizes of food or beverages potentially distorts our perception of portion size and makes it difficult to respond to our body’s natural cues of being hungry or thirsty or full,” said Courtney Burtscher, clinical psychologist who runs the monthly behavior management group as part of Loyola’s weight-loss program. People will sometimes use external cues to decide when to eat and when to stop. Cues can include the following: when others are eating, when the TV show they are watching goes to commercial or is over and when their portion is gone.”
According to Dr. Burtscher, factors that contribute to how much people eat may include:
generational - “My parents taught me to clean my plate and not waste food.”
relational - “Feelings will be hurt if I don’t finish what they made/gave me.”
economical - “This is such a good deal – more bang for my buck.”
