The Range and Magnitude of Alcohol's Harm to Others

The Alcohol Education and Rehabilitation Foundation (AER Foundation) has commissioned a report entitled "The Range and Magnitude of Alcohol's Harm to Others". The report found the hidden cost of harms caused by someone else's drinking brings the total economic impact of alcohol misuse to $36 billion more than double previous estimates. This includes tangible costs of $24.7 billion and intangible costs of $11.4 billion. The report found the cost of harm to others totalled more than $20 billion annually.
