People in their 40s have the highest rates of hospital admissions for drug and alcohol abuse, a review says.
The analysis by Dr Foster found that out of more than 500,000 people admitted in the past three years in England, 120,000 were in their 40s.
The research group said it suggested a heavy drinking and drug-taking culture was catching up with the age group.
The greatest problems were being seen among the poorest, Dr Foster said.
