Are there more kids in the us that use alcohol than there are adults?
We would first have to know what you mean by "use," but if you are referring to alcoholism, offhand we would say no. Alcohol addiction is not related to age, except as it relates (to a degree) to exposure. Since there are more adults in the country than minors to begin with, and since they have had more exposure, we would assume that more adults are addicted.
