In 1998, the most recent NIAAA figures available, the total economic cost of alcohol abuse was $185 billion a year and rising.

That included health care costs, lost productivity, auto accidents, crime and social welfare administration. At the same growth rate, the estimate would be over $230 billion this year.
Alcoholism (alcohol dependence) and alcohol abuse are two different forms of problem drinking.
Alcoholism is when you have signs of physical addiction to alcohol and continues to drink, despite problems with physical health, mental health, and social, family, or job responsibilities. Alcohol may control your life and relationships.
Alcohol abuse is when your drinking leads to problems, but not physical addiction.
Howard has a “drinking problem.” His story may be familiar.Howard’s dad gave him his first beer when he was in the eighth grade.In college, his main sport was a drinking game called beer pong. He dabbled with marijuana and cocaine, but his ol’ faithful was alcohol.Howard may be getting by, but without some kind of help, he can expect eventually to lose his job, his health, maybe his family. He may seriously hurt himself or someone else. He’s definitely going to be a tremendous burden to society for the costs of his health care and lost productivity.Alcohol Dependence To Alcohol Abuse
Howard is what the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism calls “alcohol dependent,” or what most people call an “alcoholic.” “Alcohol dependence,” according to the NIAAA, “is a condition characterized by impaired control over drinking, compulsive drinking, preoccupation with drinking, tolerance to alcohol, and/or withdrawal symptoms.” One step away from alcohol dependence is another level of problem drinking that the NIAAA calls “alcohol abuse ... characterized by failure to fulfill major role obligations at work, school or home, interpersonal social and legal problems, and/or drinking in hazardous situations.”
Howard has lots of company. The number of American adults 18 and older who fall into either category rose from 13.8 million in 1991–92 to 17.6 million in 2001–2002, according to an epidemiological survey directed by NIAAA. You would expect the number to go up, because the population increased; however, the percentage of problem-drinkers in the population also increased, from 7.41 percent to 8.46 percent.
Not surprisingly, young adults 18–29 are the heaviest drinkers. Overall, more than 10 percent of those young adults in the 2002 survey were either alcoholics or abusers, and that percentage had not changed much over the previous 10 years. so think about that.
