Young White Men Account for Most UK Ecstasy Deaths


In the UK, deaths related to the “club drug” ecstasy occur most often in white males in their late 20s, according to a new report.


Between 1997 and 2000, there were 81 deaths in England and Wales that were at least partly attributable to ecstasy use. Males accounted for 81% of the deaths, and 88% of victims were white, according to findings published in the January 11th issue of the British Medical Journal. Ecstasy, also known as MDMA, first gained notoriety as the drug-of-choice at clubs and all-night “rave” parties, but it has become increasingly popular as a sort of everyday drug.
