"Alcohol was held to be one of the three leading causes of preventable death in the US (McGinnis & Foege 1993 as qtd in Legg 2001) and the leading cause of death among young people (Stinson et al 1993 as qtd in Legg). Reports said that alcohol-related crime and illness drain the US of approximately $329 billion a year. The Department of Transport in Britain said in its 1996 report that 540 of the 10,850 drink-drive accidents resulted in deaths and that around half of all pedestrians aged 16 to 60 who died from road accidents were found to have alcohol in their blood stream. Alcohol was also associated with 60-70% of homicides, 75% of stabbings, 70% of beatings ad 50% of fights and domestic assaults."More papers on Alcoholism:
