Economic Burden of Alcohol Use <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Alcohol use is a longstanding issue that imposes adverse effects not only at an individual level but also has serious health and economic implications. Notable alcohol use reduction strategies have been devised to address this issue including goals within the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals Agenda 2030 (Bardach et al., 2019). The effects of alcohol consumption significantly undermine three sectors namely; the health sector, the criminal justice sector, and economic productivity and stability (Manthey et al., 2021). This shows the need for policies and interventions to prevent and treat alcohol consumption by the general population.<\/p>\n

The health effects of alcohol use directly or indirectly lead to significant economic burdens. These include alcohol-attributable diseases<\/p>\n
