Story Behind the Curve
July 2023
According to the 2018 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BFRSS), alcohol use is higher among Vermont adults than the U.S. 61% of Vermont adults drank any alcohol during the previous month, compared with 53% of U.S. adults. Eight percent of Vermont adults heavily drank in the last month, while only six percent of U.S. adults said the same.
The Vermont Department of Health supports prevention through community-based, environmental and individual prevention programs aimed at reduction of binge drinking, marijuana and substance use, early intervention and prevention through our work with the organizations across the state.
