Inhalant abuse is the fourth most common form of substance abuse among high school students, behind alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana. In 1996, there were an estimated 805,000 new inhalant abusers, up from 382,000 abusers in 1991. More than nine out of ten parents refuse to believe their children may have ever abused inhalants. Most people who try LSD don't really like it and stop using over time. Annual prevalence of LSD use among high school seniors was 7.2 percent in 1975 and 8.8 percent in 1996.
Alcohol is the most available drug in the country.
Just like some other drugs, it causes things like talkativeness, dizziness, slurred speech, nausea, vomiting, and passing out. Alcohol lowers inhibitions and impairs judgement which can lead to risky behaviors, including practicing unprotected sex. Alcohol also hinders coordination, slows reaction time, dulls senses, and blocks memory functions. The relationship between alcohol and motor behicle crashes is widely acknowledged. City kids are only just barely more likely to try drugs than country kids.
