Abuse of alcoholic beverages and tobacco appear to constitute priority public health problems in Mexico, while abuse of other drugs is sufficiently widespread to justify concern. More specifically, a recent national survey (11) found that over 10% of the male subjects 18 to 65 years old met established international criteria for alcohol dependence, while about a quarter of those surveyed were active smokers. A total of 4.3% said they had used one or more drugs other than tobacco or alcohol at some time in their lives.
在墨西哥，酒精饮料和烟草的滥用似乎构成了首要的公共卫生问题，而其他药物的滥用也十分普遍，足以引起关注。更具体地说，最近的一项全国性调查（11）发现，18至65岁的男性受试者中，超过10%符合既定的国际酒精依赖标准，而约四分之一的受访者是现役吸烟者。共有4.3%的人表示，他们在生活中的某个时候使用过除烟草或酒精以外的一种或多种药物。
