Alcohol abuse would be approached by an economist in terms of demand and supply. Where there exists a demand for intoxication and for consuming alcoholic drinks, there will be suppliers available, willing to fill in this demand gap and cashing in on the profits that they can reap. One possible solution is that people are made to see the disadvantages of drinking, against the advantages- which are none, so that, acting as rational decision-makers, they can decide on their own, on stopping drinking. In a similar vein, in order to curb consumption, people and especially youth can be made to realize from the beginning that drinking is ‘un-cool', leading to a change in trend that can help with curbing demand. The second solution that can be used in this case, using the factor that alcohol use can create secondary effects, is that everything has a cost. Therefore the prices on alcoholic drinks can be raised through imposing high taxes on them, staving off demand, especially from youngsters, who will not be able to afford it due to their limited income. The four elements that have been used here, as can be seen from the above analysis are that everything has a cost, economic actions create secondary actions, incentives matter (in case of suppliers looking for profits to supply alcoholic drinks) and that people choose for good reasons so that if these reasons are changed, their lifestyle patterns and choices too might change.
