Over 2 million New Yorkers are currently suffering from some type of substance abuse and many of those are minors. Alcohol abuse, in particular, is prevalent among those underage. It is estimated that roughly 15% of all teens in New York begin drinking before the age of 13.

Obviously a great place to visit and live, but New York, like all other states, has problems with drug and substance abuse.

It is reported that in total about a million adult New Yorkers struggle with alcohol abuse while nearly half a million residents admit to using hard drugs such as cocaine and heroin.
