Here's one: January/February 2006 What is the most commonly abused substance in the United States? According to the annual National Survey on Drug Use and Health, which was released last September, alcohol remains the nation's most commonly abused substance. More than 22 percent of the U.S. population, or 55 million people, ages 12 and older were binge drinkers in the past month, reported the survey, which was conducted by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. apha.org That's just in the past month.
