Teen drinking rises among youths cited in 1987 study
A Parent Resource Institute study of 6155 seventh graders found 43 percent already experimenting with beer and wine and 23 percent with hard liquor. Nationwide, 3.3 million teens ages 14 to 17 show signs of alcohol problems, and nearly 10,000 youths die annually in alcohol linked accidents. Experts urge early intervention and school based prevention, noting peer pressure and accessibility as key factors. Outreach programs in White Plains report reductions in absenteeism and substance use among participants.
