Teen Tipplers:
America's Underage Drinking Epidemic
The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse and
addiction at Columbia University report, Teen Tipplers: America's
Underage Drinking Epidemic, concludes that there is, by any
public health standard, an underage drinking epidemic in America.
Teens are drinking a large percentage of the alcohol sold in our
nation; more than five million high school students binge drink at
least monthly; the proportion of eighth graders who begin drinking
is up by a third since 1975, and the gender gap of alcohol
consumption between boys and girls has evaporated.
