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.

The brain impairment that often results from long-term alcohol use can involve memory and coordination issues as well as impaired problem-solving skills.
