Excessive alcohol consumption is responsible for 80,000 deaths in the United States each
year. But aside from years of potential life lost, binge drinking can also cost states
billions of dollars in collateral damage due to health care costs, increased
crime and reduced worker productivity, according to a new study released in
August by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In a previous study, CDC researchers found that excessive drinking in 2006 cost
the country as a whole more than $223 billion. Branching off from that
research, the center found that excessive alcohol use cost states about $2.9
billion each on average. State costs ranged from about $420 million in North
Dakota to as high as $32 billion in California.
By comparison, the Tax Policy Center estimates that state and local taxes on alcoholic beverages brought in about $6 billion in revenue nationwide in 2010.
