‘HOW MANY TIMES did you get drunk in the last 12 months?’
‘How many times did you regret getting drunk?’
Those are just two of the questions being asked by the Global Drugs Survey 2020 (GDS) as its authors look to understand the global population’s relationship with alcohol and other substances.
The GDS was set up with an aim to better inform drug policy and, in its ninth year, it is focusing on some of the major public health and scientific issues that have been “making waves” over the past 12 months, its organisers said.
As well as alcohol, the researchers want to know about people’s vaping habits, their use of CBD and other cannabis products and whether they take psychedelics as medication.
They will also ask questions around the use of MDMA, also known as molly and ecstasy, which has come back into focus this year – in Ireland and elsewhere. They want to figure out how people dose and how this influences the “balance between pleasure and harms”.
