Alcohol is one of the most widely used drug substances in the world.

Alcohol use is not only an adult problem. Most American high school seniors have had an alcoholic drink within the past month, despite the fact that the legal drinking age is 21 years old in the U.S.

About 1 in 5 teens are considered "problem drinkers." This means that they:

  • Get drunk
  • Have accidents related to alcohol use
  • Get into trouble with the law, family members, friends, school, or dates because of alcohol

THE EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL

Alcoholic drinks have different amounts of alcohol in them:

  • Beer is about 5% alcohol, although some beers can have more.
  • Wine is usually 12 to 15% alcohol.
  • Hard liquor is about 45% alcohol.
