Description:

The cost of excessive alcohol use in the U.S. was almost a quarter trillion dollars in 2010. Implementing effective community-based interventions can reduce excessive drinking and its costs.

Excessive alcohol use is known to kill more than 140,000 people in the United States each year, but a CDC studyexternal icon suggests it is also a drain on the American economy, mostly due to losses in workplace productivity.
