Summary

This article analyses one contemporary severe socioeconomic issue – alcohol abuse. It shows data for Czech and European populations, and reveals that the economic burden related directly, and indirectly, to the treatment of illnesses caused by excessive alcohol consumption is fairly significant. Tax losses caused by

  • premature death due to alcohol abuse,
  • deaths in productive age caused by alcohol,
  • tumours evolved from dependency on alcohol, where there is evidence of causality, and
  • other influences were also taken into account when estimating societal burden.
Evaluation is based on Alcohol Attributable Fraction (AAF) described in (2). Indeterminable costs remain due to low patient compliance (therapy neglect, etc.), which cause more severe course of the disease and thereby higher costs. Data from the year 2006 was chosen because the results are reasonably up-to-date and it had the most complete statistical reports.

Key words:
alcohol abuse, societal burden, mortality, morbidity.
