AAD and YPLL due to excessive alcohol use, including those among decedents under age 21 years, were obtained directly from the ARDI application. Average annual national and state rates for AAD and YPLL per 100,000 population from 2006 through 2010 were calculated by dividing the average annual AAD and YPLL estimates from ARDI for 2006 through 2010 by the average annual population estimates from the US Census for 2006–2010, and then multiplying by 100,000. The rates were then age-adjusted to the 2000 US population (11).
