There were 1,878 alcohol-related deaths in New Mexico in 2020, about a third of which were caused by chronic liver disease. The New Mexico Department of Health launched its CSTE alcohol surveillance system in 2017, which brings together information (alcohol consumption behaviors and associated morbidity, mortality, and policy-related measures) necessary to show a clear picture of the alcohol effects in the state. This system yields usable, timely data from which the state officials can monitor trends and develop interventions to reduce the prevalence of alcohol-attributable morbidity and mortality.
