Alaskan Alcohol Deaths Double in One Decade

SMOKE MORE POT –

June 20, 2024 –  The study estimates that Alaskans spend just over $827,000 on alcoholic drinks every year. That equates to $1,165 per person which is 44 percent higher than the national average. This is more than residents of any other state spend on drinks. The U.S. economy as a whole sinks an estimated $250 billion into alcohol annually.

When alcohol begins to interfere with normal day to day activities, drinking has become more than a harmless habit. Regular drinkers often report workplace problems and family strain as a result, as well as withdrawal from social interactions they formerly enjoyed. The brain impairment that often results from long-term alcohol use can involve memory and coordination issues as well as impaired problem-solving skills.
