AB  - Excessive and/or risky alcohol use* resulted in $249 billion in economic costs in 
      2010 (1) and >88,000 deaths in the United States every year from 2006 to 2010 
      (2). It is associated with birth defects and disabilities (e.g., fetal alcohol 
      spectrum disorders [FASDs]), increases in chronic diseases (e.g., heart disease 
      and breast cancer), and injuries and violence (e.g., motor vehicle crashes, 
      suicide, and homicide).(dagger) Since 2004, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force 
      (USPSTF) has recommended alcohol misuse screening and brief counseling (also 
      known as alcohol screening and brief intervention or ASBI) for adults aged >/=18 
      years (3).( section sign) Among adults, ASBI reduces episodes of binge-level consumption, 
      reduces weekly alcohol consumption, and increases compliance with recommended 
      drinking limits in those who have an intervention in comparison to those who do 
      not (3). A recent study suggested that health care providers rarely talk with 
      patients about alcohol use (4). To estimate the prevalence of U.S. adults who 
      reported receiving elements of ASBI, CDC analyzed 2014 Behavioral Risk Factor 
      Surveillance System (BRFSS) data from 17 states( paragraph sign) and the District of Columbia 
      (DC). Weighted crude and age-standardized overall and state-level prevalence 
      estimates were calculated by selected drinking patterns and demographic 
      characteristics. Overall, 77.7% of adults (age-standardized estimate) reported 
      being asked about alcohol use by a health professional in person or on a form 
      during a checkup, but only 32.9% reported being asked about binge-level alcohol 
      consumption (3). Among binge drinkers, only 37.2% reported being asked about 
      alcohol use and advised about the harms of drinking too much, and only 18.1% 
      reported being asked about alcohol use and advised to reduce or quit drinking. 
      Widespread implementation of ASBI and other evidence-based interventions could 
      help reduce excessive alcohol use in adults and related harms.
