Every year in the United States more and more teenagers are having to face the issue of alcohol.
Alcohol is clearly the substance with which adolescents have the most experience.
Statistics vary but the best estimates indicate that there could be more than four million American alcoholics under the age of eighteen. One could argue that drinking among teens is not on the rise but this would be a very difficult task to achieve. The reason why this would be a very hard task to achieve is because of the many statistics of today s society that show the increase of teen drinking. Today s junior highers are facing decisions about alcohol that were once reserved for older youth. Trying alcohol today is already more common among current fifth graders than it was among current eighth graders when they were in fifth graders.
