Widespread abuse of alcohol and drugs and mental illness will inevitably increase the economic burden on individuals and society. The author estimates such funds for the two years of 1985 and 1988 based on current and more reliable national surveys and using new methods of billing. The total cost for the year 1988 was 273.3 billion U.S. dollars, including 88.5 billion U.S. dollars for the misuse of alcohol, 58.3 billion U.S. dollars for the misuse of drugs, and 12.93 billion U.S. dollars for mental illness. It was estimated to be 2182.1 billion U.S. dollars in 1985, including 51.4 billion U.S. dollars.
