Alcohol harm costs the economy $9.1b a year, and the substance is linked to more than 200 medical conditions, Te Whatu Ora's medical officer of health says.
I guess it doesn’t really work that way. For example, if everyone basically stopped drinking, then we would still generate $2B in exports and potentially a lot more if we aren’t drinking it ourselves. Technically we might be break even, but there’s an opportunity cost.

Yeah. I was being a little facetious with “break even”.
