During that year, it was estimated that 4.3 percent of 25-to-34 year-olds consumed multiple types of drugs in the past 12 months. After the age of 34, this consumption decreased in Belgium. For instance, between ages 45 and 54, it was estimated that 0.3 percent of Belgians used multiple drugs within the year.
