Reason for Reasonability

27 per cent of UK adults aged 16 or over have taken illegal drugs - amounting to around 13 million people. The younger the adults, the more likely they are to have taken drugs: while 46 per cent of the 16-34 age group have taken drugs at some point in their lives, only 5 per cent of people aged 55 or over have done so.

Men are more likely to have taken drugs than women, but the gap is closing. In 2002, men were more than twice as likely as women to have taken them. Now, 33 per cent of men and 21 per cent of women have taken illegal drugs.
