Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Among pregnant women aged 15 to 44, 11.2 percent reported past month alcohol use and 4.5 percent reported past month binge drinking, based on combined 2003 and 2004 data.

The rate of binge alcohol use was lowest among Asians (12.7 percent). Rates for other racial/ethnic groups were 20.3 percent for blacks, 20.8 percent for persons reporting two or more races, 23.4 percent for whites, 23.7 percent for Hispanics, 25.7 percent for Native Hawaiians or Other Pacific Islanders, and 32.8 percent for American Indians or Alaska Natives.

The behavioral impact of habitual heroin use is generally devastating. Most habitual users are incapable of concentration, learning, or clear thought. Rarely are they able to hold a job. They are apathetic, indifferent to consequences, and unable to sustain personal relationships. For many, the inability to honestly earn enough to meet their drug needs leads to crime. For the overwhelming majority, compulsive use prompts behavior that is self-destructive and irresponsible, often antisocial, and characteristically indifferent to the injury, pain, or loss it causes others.

Although amphetamines were once prescribed to control obesity and depression, their use for these disorders has been discontinued because patients became quickly and seriously dependent.

Patterns of alcohol use across county type were different for teens and adults in 2001. Among teens aged 12 to 17, the rates of past month alcohol use and heavy alcohol use were higher in rural areas than in large metropolitan areas (for past month use, the difference was marginally significant, p < .07). Among adults, the rates of past month alcohol use were higher in large metropolitan areas than in rural areas, while there were no differences in heavy use rates across these county types.

Deaths have been reported as a direct result of amphetamine use.
