Using survey data, discuss the relative toxicity of alcohol and cocaine
What will be an ideal response?
Alcohol-in-combination and cocaine have been associated with similar numbers of emergency room visits over the years. Since many more people use alcohol than use cocaine, one could conclude that cocaine is relatively more dangerous (per user) than alcohol. However, it is also important to note that DAWN does not report on alcohol when it is used alone, only in combination with other substances. Bonus: cocaine's toxicity is also influenced by how it is used.
