How Are We Doing?
Using data from both landline and cell phones in 2019, it was estimated that 11.2% (crude rate) of Utah adults binge drank at least once in the 30 days prior to the survey. Utah is well below the Healthy People 2020 objective of 24.4% for this measure.
How Do We Compare With the U.S.?
Estimates show that in 2019 16.7% of U.S. adults reported binge drinking in the past 30 days whereas 11.2% of Utah adults reported binge drinking (crude rates).
The percentage of adults who reported binge drinking in the past 30 days was substantially lower in Utah than in the U.S. for all years reported between 1989-2019.
