1 in 12 Full-Time Workers in U.S. Admit Using Drugs in Past Month
That’s pretty significant and its getting worse. The report says an equal amount admitted to drinking 5 or more drinks at least 5 times in the last month. That means that 1 out of every 6 employed people admit to being drug abusers. I am not sure that the other 5 are even telling the truth since many will find some reason to lie and others will be in denial. I would bet the figure is more like 1 in 4 and if you went out to include abuse in the last year it would be better then half of all full time workers. If you included non workers and part time workers it would be even worse then that.
If all the people doing something illegal were incarcerated we would have a larger jail population then the entire population of the West coast. I don’t think we are losing the war on drugs and alcohol abuse I think we have already lost it. With all the drug enforcement going on it just continues to get worse. It should make you want to hope that God has the answer to man’s addiction problems because man sure shows that he doesn’t. By the way, God does.
