Overview

From patent medicine and Prohibition to prescription drug abuse and PCP, the abuse of drugs and alcohol has proven problematic throughout the twentieth century up to today. Both legal and illegal drugs are examined in this volume of the Gallup Major Trends & Events: The Pulse of Our Nation 1900 to the Present series. Gallup Organization polls trace the evolution of American attitudes toward alcohol-related issues, such as the failed attempt at alcohol criminalization, drunk driving, and the legal drinking age. Polls also outline opinions on the underground drug culture of the mid-twentieth century, the debate over marijuana use, performance-enhancing steroids in professional sports, and the best ways to protect young people from substance abuse problems.
