This study analyzes National Health Insurance (NHI) cohort database (for years 2002~2013) to estimate the risk of illnesses attributable to drinking. Based on the estimates of risk of illnesses attributable to alcohol, the socioeconomic cost of problematic drinking are calculated.. We find that high-risk drinking significantly increases the relative risk of all alcohol-attributable illnesses and the total socioeconomic costs of alcohol-attributable illnesses amount to KRW 4.6942 trillion.
