Alcohol consumption on Long Island continues to outpace the national and regional average this decade. But the rate is lower than it had been.
That’s according to a recent survey released by the Long Island Health Collaborative.
Janine Logan, who heads the group, says alcohol abuse remains a problem.
“I think that we are forgetting that alcohol is a drug of choice and is an issue that has fallen off everyone’s radar a little bit.”
Logan spoke on WSHU’s The Full Story.
The survey also shows binge drinking on Long Island is at a six-year low.
