State Data on Alcohol, Tobacco, and Illegal Drug Use In 1999, estimates of alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drug use for all the individual States were available for the first time. This innovation resulted from the implementation of a national survey design with representative State samples, increased sample size, and newly available analytic software. State level data prior to 1999 are not available.

2002 State Estimates of Substance Use and Serious Mental Illness Based on SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 21% of young drivers aged 15 to 17 were binge drinkers and 6% were heavy drinkers during the combined years of 1999 to 2001. Rates of heavy drinking and binge drinking among young drivers varied by the States' Graduated Driver Licensing ratings, based on the extent to which they restrict driving behavior among young drivers. This report identifies the States categorized from most restrictive to least restrictive according to the 4 category rating scheme developed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the Traffic Injury Research Foundation.
