SPECIAL INVESTIGATION: Colorado’s quiet killer: Alcohol ends more lives than overdoses, but there’s been no intervention denverpost.com/2024/01/04/col…
No coincidence: Colorado has some of lowest alcohol taxes & highest drinking deaths. Fact: As drinking deaths rose in Colorado, beer & wine became more available. 👏🏼 shining the spotlight @WmBrangham @NewsHour @MegWingerter @denverpost! pbs.org/newshour/show/… #alcoholpolicy
Thank you for highlighting the dangers of alcohol @MegWingerter @denverpost @mattsebastian
In today's @denverpost: Part 1 of a 4-part special report by @MegWingerter examining Colorado's high rate of alcohol deaths — and how a 60% spike in fatalities has been met with a shrug “We kind of forget about alcohol,” a state rep says Whole series: denverpost.com/2024/01/04/col…
Alcohol deaths in Colorado surged by 60% in 4 years, yet there's little public outcry compared to the fentanyl crisis. Explore why Colorado ranks among the worst-hit states in this pandemic-driven surge. See the first part of the series by @MegWingerter dpo.st/3tHgvsD
I remember when I saw this, and it was one of those holy shit moments
One thing that struck me as I was reporting was how few people knew about the high number of alcohol deaths. When I told them, they assumed it was mostly car crashes, which might have different solutions. But most people are dying of chronic conditions caused by drinking.
@CarinaJulig @TedAlcorn @MegWingerter Thanks for the series. In line with the NM situation, where we’re #1 in alcohol related deaths. @commoncausenm
🇺🇸 New Mothers Dying In Colorado ▫As drug overdoses, suicides take toll, doctors and agencies advocate treatment ▫@MegWingerter 🇺🇸 #frontpagestoday #USA @denverpos
Excellent new 4-part series on Colorado's neglected toll of alcohol-related deaths, where the problem—& lawmaker's lackadaisical response—resembles New Mexico's. Part II highlights higher alcohol taxes as a potential solution. @MegWingerter @denverpost denverpost.com/2024/01/04/col…
I’ve been pleading to news organizations for a long time: Please report on the deadly impacts of alcoholism. Every ER nurse, detox center and rehab administrator will tell you that booze kills more people than fentanyl by a mile, but only receives a fraction the coverage. Thank…
Time for the pup to eat! 🦦 Our Animal Care and Science team members are here 24/7 to feed the pup formula bottles and small pieces of clam every few hours.
You asked for sea otter meeps. We bring you sea otter meeps! Sea otters use a variety of vocalizations to communicate, including whines, squeals, whistles, growls, and snarls. 💙
If bison are on the road, be patient, drive slowly, and stay in your vehicle. Wait for bison to move along: do not honk your horn or drive aggressively toward them. That will only make them go slower. A bison’s level of aggressiveness, both physical and passive is legendary.
We only rate dogs. This is an angelic Arctic alligator. Please do not try to cuddle with any other species of alligator, and only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10
Our sea otter pup patient is growing up so fast! ❤️ Our team recently introduced this little guy to solid food in the form of little clam pieces, and it looks like he absolutely loves them! Clam is also an ingredient in the specialized otter pup formula made for him.
We know he looks cuddly, but we promise you don't want to snuggle this otter pup (or any, for that matter). Just take a look at those teeth! You CAN snuggle the otter pup plush in the ASLC Adopt-an-Animal package! alaskasealife.org/adoptananimal
