What are costs to a community for overuse of alcohol?

  1. Increased pollution

  2. Development of new businesses

  3. Alcohol related crimes and public health risks

  4. Higher employment rates

The correct answer is: Alcohol related crimes and public health risks

An increased usage of alcohol in a community can lead to higher rates of alcohol related crimes such as drunk driving, assaults, and domestic violence. It can also result in public health risks such as alcohol poisoning, liver damage, and mental health issues. Options A and D do not directly relate to the overuse of alcohol. The development of new businesses may bring economic growth but it does not take into account the negative impact of alcohol abuse on a community.
