Many efforts are made by many consultants to stress the fact that students must make their own decision about drinking. One alarming study showed that two out of three alcoholics began drinking in high school. Although many teens feel that one drink doesn't make an alcoholic. But the number of young people who tried alcohol at least once is really only the visible tip of a very large iceburg. What you don't see and what worries health authorities is the growing number of pre-teens and teenagers who are now using alcohol regularly as a means of blotting out reality.
Alcoholism is indeed a problem towards teens.
It is a proven fact minors will far more likely drink at a binge-drinking level compared to someone who is of legal age to drink. As for college students, substance abuse of alcohol will continually increase due to the fact students feel the relief of stress or maybe to be socially accepted.
