Best Answer

about 18 million 65.8 percent

The answer depends on how drinking is defined (once in the last year, once a month, daily, etc) and the age of the teenager. As age increases, so does the percentage drinking at any particular level.

In addition, the proportion of high school students in the U.S. who drink at any particular level has been dropping for decades.

Most teenagers will at least experiment with alcohol, because they want to know what it is like, and because it is thought to be the cool thing to do, and because they are in a hurry to take on the challenges and vices of adulthood. As far as I can determine, perhaps 90% of teenagers drink at least to some extent. Less, in Muslim countries and Utah, where there are religious prohibitions.

Alcohol is involved in about 40 percent of traffic crashes in which someone is killed True or false?

True. And this arises a bright idea: majority (60%) of the fatal traffic crashes is caused by sober drivers, drunken drivers cause less. Let's encourage the drivers to drink before driving, thus decrease the number of fatalities on the roads! Statistics is a science if one can interpret the figures...

Can alcoholism be genetically passed?

Alcoholism itself is not something that can be passed down - in other words, you will not be born drunk and alcoholic. However, the tendency to become addicted to alcohol and other drugs is definitely passed down! People whose parents (and other family members) are alcoholics (or other types of drug addicts) will be far more likely to become addicted to drugs and alcohol, and will have a harder time kicking the habit. People with a family history of alcoholism should try never to drink more than one alcoholic drink every few days - and even then, they should never drink if they feel like they "need" a drink to change their mood! People who are not alcoholics drink because they like the taste of the drink - people who are addicted drink because they "had a hard day" or "need to loosen up" or "everyone else is doing it."
