It is essential to distinguish between drinking in moderation and abusing alcohol. Failure to do so leads to radically different estimates. That is because drinking in moderation is associated with better health, longer longevity, higher income and other positive benefits. However, alcohol abuse is associated with many medical conditions, domestic conflict and other negative consequences. In order to be accurate, estimates of either the economic or social costs of alcohol need to include benefits as well as costs.
