Any good economics student in year 11 will tell you that the cost of everything is what you give up to get it. By that logic the cost of a weekend's binge drinking can be 48 hours of life; drinking, recovering, drinking and recovering again with nothing but sclerotic memories and an empty bank account to show for it. That's without considering the risk of catastrophic costs, which should be widely understood after too many alcohol related tragedies.
