      For the study, researchers analysed the drinking habits and liver disease trends in all U.S. adults. They estimated that a one-year increase in alcohol consumption during the Covid-19 pandemic will result in 8,000 additional deaths from alcohol-related liver disease, 18,700 cases of liver failure and 1,000 cases of liver cancer by 2040.

      However, a sustained increase in alcohol consumption for more than one year could result in 19-35 percent additional mortality, researchers concluded.
