Women face gaps in tailored alcohol treatment despite rising disorder rates

This report highlights that the historical gender gap in binge drinking and alcohol use disorder in the U.S. has narrowed significantly over recent decades. Notably, in 2024, binge drinking rates among women aged 18–25 surpassed those of men in the same age group for the first time. Despite these changes, women still face gaps in access to tailored alcohol treatment, especially in states with higher disorder rates.
