"Every year alcohol abuse costs Alaskans $1. 8 billion, while the abuse of other drugs pushes the total to $3 billion, according to updated studies conducted by the McDowell Group for the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority."  Something stinks in Alaska.  There are a mere 700,000 people including every man, woman, child, Senior, student, and workers.  Abusers and users among us,  bringing ruin to our society.  Alcoholics and Addicts are destroying the fabric of Alaska.  Government social programs enable addictions.  Opioid, meth, heroin, coke, spice, synthetics, are the choice of tens of thousands of Alaskans.  That's a fundamental expensive problem that plagues progress.
