BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – A lot of North Dakotans love to drink, but sometimes, we love it a little too much.
In their recent report, Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota says our state is the second-worst state for binge drinking. Wisconsin is the worst.
Caring Foundation Executive Director Amber Blomberg said vaping is also a growing problem.
“The amount of binge drinking in the state really is staying pretty consistent. The amount of smoking has gone down, although vaping is increasing. Behavioral health is still a concern. We can definitely blame the pandemic, but we can’t entirely blame it,” Blomberg said.
If you have a substance abuse problem, the Heartview Foundation has resources available to help you.
