Story here. Excerpt:
'The number of women dying drug-related deaths in England and Wales rose by 17% in 2008 to 853, according to the Office for National Statistics.
The number of male deaths also rose 8% compared with 2007 to 2,075 - the highest total since 2001.
The figures, which include legal and illegal drugs, also show cocaine caused 235 deaths in 2008 - up 20% from 2007.
The government said it had invested more in treatment programmes, but the Lib Dems called the rises "horrifying".'


I'd say it's nothing but a mild fart compared to the number men dying drug related deaths!
