Alcohol still Ireland's biggest drug problem – Alcohol Action Ireland 

The prevalence of alcohol use disorder in the general population was found to be 14.8%, which corresponds to one in every seven, or 578,000 adults in Ireland.

The biggest drug problem Ireland is currently battling is alcohol, according to harm reduction advocates.

The message comes from Alcohol Action Ireland, the national independent advocate for reducing alcohol harm, following the publication of the 2019-20 Irish National Drug and Alcohol Survey by the Health Research Board.
