While men tend to drink more than women, and young adults more than teens or older adults, no one is immune to the risk of developing a dependence on alcohol. The consequences of alcoholism can be serious and range from relationship and financial problems to accidents, injuries, long-term physical health problems, and even fatal alcohol poisoning.

Most of the cost of drinking is attributed to binge drinking, which may or may not be related to an alcohol use disorder. Alcoholism and drinking also cause a global burden, with nearly 6 percent of deaths worldwide attributed to alcohol.
