“Multi-panel line chart (2x2 grid) showing global drug-related death rates per 100,000 people from 1980 to 2023 (both sexes, all ages). Panels are grouped as Depressants, Stimulants, Others, and Total drug use disorders, with shaded ribbons showing uncertainty and labels at the first and last points. In the depressants panel, alcohol remains the highest throughout, while opioid deaths rise steeply; opioid death rate increases from about 0.56 to 1.56 (+178%). The total drug-use death rate panel rises from about 0.89 to 2.14 (+140%) over 43 years. Stimulants and other-drug categories stay lower than alcohol and opioids but generally trend upward over time.”
Alcohol still leads in drug-use death rates globally, but opioid-related deaths have risen by 178% since 1980.
