(CBS/AP) Drinking isn’t the cheapest way to spend a Saturday night. But a new CDC study found that as your bar tab increases, so too does America’s tab. PICTURES: 14 “facts” about drinking: Are you misinformed? The cost to society of boozing amounts to $2 a drink, according to the study. “Binge drinking results in binge spending,” said CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden. For the CDC’s study – published in the Oct. 17 issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine – researchers calculated societal costs from binge and heavy drinking beyond what consumers pay at the bar or liquor store, including lost work productivity, property damage from car crashes, health care costs for liver cirrhosis and other alcohol-associated medical problems, and money spent on keeping drunk drivers and alcohol-using criminals behind bars.
