Abstract

Since the alcohol involves a wide variety of adverse health and social consequences, there is a strong need for improved estimates on economic costs and benefits of alcohol drinking to reduce the social alcohol abuse and to obtain some useful informations for targeting programs. However, there is no research for the intangible costs and benefits so far that are essential to estimate the real overall costs and benefits incurred by alcohol use. Thus this paper finds out and represents a general model for estimating the intangible costs and benefits by use of alcohol demand curve. The calculated monetary values, as a example, of them in 2002 show as big as 7,900 billion won and 4,200 billion won respectively.
