Sobering Statistics
While the overall teenage drinking statistics show a slight decrease, underage beverage abuse is still very much a legal and physical nightmare. Consider the following:
| |
More than 10 million current drinkers in the United States are between the ages of 12-20. |
| |
On average, young people begin drinking at 13.1 years of age. |
| |
By the time they are high school seniors, more than 80 percent have used alcohol and approximately 62 percent have been drunk. |
| |
In the 1960s, seven percent of 10 to 14 year old females used alcohol; by the early 1990s, that figure had risen to 31 percent. |
| |
Nearly one out of every five teenagers (16 percent) has experienced alcohol-induced "blackouts," after which they could not remember what happened the previous evening. |
| |
Young buyers who appeared to be underage were able to purchase alcohol with no questions asked at least 50 percent of the time. |
Sources: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, University of Michigan, American Academy of Pediatrics Survey and the University of Minnesota.
If that is not enough, here are a few more startling facts for you:
|
| |
Standard data used in this field tell us that there were about 735,000 alcohol-related assaults on 18-24 year olds nationwide. |
| |
More than 17,000 Americans die each year in alcohol-related traffic crashes. |
| |
41 percent of all traffic crashes are alcohol-related. |
| |
Nearly 600,000 Americans are injured in alcohol-related traffic crashes each year. |
| |
Someone dies in an alcohol-related traffic crash every 30 minutes. |
| |
3 out of every 10 Americans face the possibility of being directly involved in an alcohol-related traffic crash during their lifetime. |
Teenage drinking is a widespread epidemic in the United States Today; in fact, teenage drinking is so common that over fifty percent of high school seniors reported drinking heavily.
Teenage drinking is more than just a nuisance or an adolescent phase. Of a large study of high school seniors, 80 percent reported binge drinking, getting drunk, or drinking and driving, and of those students, over 50 percent admitted that drinking had made them feel ill, get arrested, have a car accident, and miss school or work.
