What a person expects from alcohol consumption not only predicts when he or she will begin drinking but also how much he or she will drink throughout young adulthood.
There is a growing body of reputable research which suggests that motivational-enhancement interventions may be effective for reducing alcohol use and negative consequences in the context of prevention for college students; these intervention tools are nonjudgmental and not confrontational, and have the goal of enhancing student's intrinsic motivation to change behavior by educating them about the effects of alcohol abuse.
How Many Tweens and Teens Are Drinking? Not as many as a lot of them believe and tell each other. The rate of current alcohol use among youth ages 12 to 17 was 15.9 percent in 2007. That means 84.1 percent, or more than four out of five students, did not use alcohol.
In 2002, the World Health Organization estimated that 1.8 million deaths every year are directly attributable to alcohol consumption.
