The dangerous and deadly drug fentanyl, which often is laced into heroin, chiefly has been responsible for the rise in opioid overdoses. However, we should not lose sight of the fact that alcohol abuse still rates as the number one health problem in the country, as it has for decades. Here are a few statistics: It is estimated that excessive drinking is responsible for 88,000 deaths per year in the United States, about one in 10 deaths among working-age adults. The cost in 2010 was almost $250 billion. And drinking is a serious problem among adolescents. More than nine percent of those 12 to 17 years drink alcohol, and almost five percent engaged in binge drinking in the last month. Drinking in the teen years makes a person five times more likely to become an alcoholic than if they had waited to take their first drink after the age of 21. For men, risky drinking is more than four drinks on any day or more than 14 drinks in any week, according to the National Institute for Alcohol Abuse. And for women, it’s more than three drinks on any day Black or more than seven drinks in any week. (The institute defines a drink as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of spirits.) Among people aged 15 to 49, alcohol use is the single most common risk factor for death and disability. In 2016, alcohol accounted for 6.8 DiDomenico urges action on high quality pre-K percent of male and 2.2 percent of female deaths. Sen.

  • About Wynn Resorts
    About Wynn Resorts About Wynn Resorts Stephen A. Wynn, the founder of Wynn Resorts, Limited, is the preeminent designer, developer and operator of Integrated Resorts globally. Wynn Resorts owns and operates two Integrated Resorts in Las Vegas, Nevada and three in the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (“Macau”). The Wynn development team envisions, designs, and builds boldly conceived Integrated Resorts that set progressively higher standards for quality, guest service and entertainment and that transformed their markets from “gaming-only” locales to diversified global tourist destinations. Wynn Integrated Resorts seamlessly integrate sophisticated architecture, luxurious interior design, and a diverse selection of amenities, including fine-dining restaurants, premium-retail offerings, a full range of 24-hour games, convention facilities, and live-performance venues. The result: unique experiences for guests of the highest quality. Guided by the simple truth that, “Only people can make people happy,” Wynn employees are devoted to delivering the Wynn promise of always exceeding guest expectations. For 40 years, resorts led by the Wynn development team have been the employer of choice in their markets. An Unparalleled Record of Market Transformation As Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mirage Resorts, Incorporated, Mr. Wynn opened The Mirage, Las Vegas’ first true Integrated Resort, in 1989. The Mirage, at that time the most expensive casino in the history of Las Vegas, was an instant success, breaking all Las Vegas records for profitability and for the first time generated more non-gaming revenue than gaming revenue for a Las Vegas resort. The Mirage not only established the concept of an Integrated Resort but also broadened the global appeal of Las Vegas, triggering an immediate $12 billion city-wide investment boom that made Las Vegas the number one tourist destination in the world.
