Chronic Alcohol Abuse

Reducing the Burden of Excessive Chronic Alcohol Consumption.

Excessive and long‑term alcohol consumption has serious consequences for both individuals and society. Beyond its well‑documented health risks, it generates a substantial economic burden. In 2016, alcohol use ranked as the seventh leading risk factor for death and disability worldwide, and it was the primary risk factor among people aged 15 to 49 years.

While global economic estimates are not yet available, the financial impact has been quantified in some countries. In the United States, for example, the cost of excessive chronic alcohol consumption reached $60 billion in 2010, driven by productivity losses, healthcare expenses, and other social impacts such as traffic-related incidents.

Alcohol abuse is still one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Early diagnosis of alcohol abuse enables preventive intervention on the effects and risks associated with its consumption.
