Under Age Drinking

1)The percentage of 8Th graders using alcohol is 48% in Sussex and 41% in national use. The percentage of 10Th graders is 73% for Sussex and 63% for national.

2)I learned that the older the students get the more they abuse using alcohol. The older they become the more they experiment with the use of alcohol during their years as a student at parties.

3)The issue with under age drinking is that it becomes a habit and they keep till they can drive. When they can drive they abuse it more because they can drive to go get it instead of getting it from parents or friends. Teens feel the need to drink because they get it for a depressant or need it because they heard friends talk about it because of the peer pressure.
