What are the Causes of Teenage Drinking?
According to KidsHealth, about 80 percent of high school students have tried drinking an alcoholic beverage even though the legal drinking age in the United States is 21. It’s important that parents understand the reasons teens drink and the importance of talking to their kids at an early age about the dangers of drinking. The Mayo Clinic reports that some consequences of teen drinking include car accidents related to drinking, being robbed, assaulted or raped, having sex, issues at school and becoming dependent on alcohol.
