Pretty bad but in the early 20th century it was infamously bad.

The Soviet union illustrated how booze is also the opiate of the miserables when the economy is dire. I can't say if alcoholism is or was less dire in the States, but both are on the same page finally that alcoholism is a problem to be reduced (despite an both states liking the taxes from the booze market.)
