More people took part in binge drinking in the last month than those who used illegal drugs at 8.4 percent. The survey was conducted by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and included interviews with more than 137,000 people between 2008 and 2009.
The highest rate of illegal drug use :

“No state is free from the unique impact of mental and substance use disorders,” SAMHSA Administrator Pamela S. Hyde, J.D., said in a news release. “Data like these give states the information they can use to target their prevention and treatment activities for the greatest benefit to their residents.”
