Alcohol-related collisions cost society approximately $249 billion annually in the United States. This figure encompasses both direct costs, such as medical expenses and legal fees, and indirect costs, including lost productivity and quality of life. The significant economic burden highlights the need for effective prevention and intervention strategies to reduce alcohol-related incidents.
