Teens show mixed signals on drinking and designated drivers
A survey of youths ages 16 to 19 finds more than half drank in the past month while about two thirds say they always choose a designated driver. Yet 80 percent approve drinking with a designated driver and nearly half think designated drivers can drink. The phone study of 51,000 high school students echoes these patterns with 61 percent drinking last month. Boys average 5.6 drinking days monthly, girls 5.2, and 32 percent of boys vs 22 percent of girls report six or more drinks in a month.
