Greater consumption of alcohol leads to more motorvehicle accidents and, thus, imposes costs on peoplewho do not drink and drive.a. Illustrate the market for alcohol, labeling thedemand curve, the social-value curve, thesupply curve, the social-cost curve, the marketequilibrium level of output, and the efficient levelof output.b. On your graph, shade the area corresponding tothe deadweight loss of the market equilibrium.(Hint: The deadweight loss occurs because someunits of alcohol are consumed for which the socialcost exceeds the social value.) Explain.
