The anwer is C.33%.

The results from the “2009 National Survey on Drug Use and Health” exposed the high association between the abuse of alcohol and the use of illicit drugs and tobacco. Findings revealed that among the 17.1 million heavy drinkers aged 12 or older, 33% were also simultaneously illicit drug users. 33.2% to be exact. This statistics show that binging on alcohol increases the likelihood of falling pray of the trap of substance addiction. The combination of drugs like marijuana, cocaine, heroin and others, with alcohol can have unexpected and even lethal results.
