continuing a long-term gradual decline.
New study reveals the 7 best ways to keep your teens from drinking
Diving into the latest data about alcohol use by 12 to 17-year-olds reveals the seven habits of parents whose kids don’t drink or drink far less frequently than others.

More good news! Although the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) approaches underage alcohol use from a different angle than the other studies, the trend data from their report, The National Survey on Drug Use and Health, is basically the same: usage and recency (the last time one had a drink) continue to fall among…[more]
1992-2010 Trends in Alcohol Use by College Students
It’s important to recognize that the college student data from Monitoring the Future includes students who are legally allowed to drink because they are 21 or older. We can assume that approximately one-quarter of the respondents are of age. Therefore, more students are expected to…[more]
