More than 40% drink or have tried alcohol before turning 21, the legal drinking age in the United States of America. More like 80% you moron

Answer:

According to federal research, the proportion of high school students in the U.S. who have ever consumed alcohol is 72.7%. Those who have consumed in the previous year is 66.5% and the proportion who have consumed in the previous 30 days is 45.3%.

The National Survey on Drug Use and Health, conducted by the U.S. government, reports a continuing decline in underage drinking.

Among youth 12 to 17 years of age, drinking alcohol during the past month dropped 8.2% over the previous year. So-called "binge " drinking dropped 9.3% among the same age group and heavy drinking dropped 13.0% in that group over the previous year.

The survey also reported a continuing decline among those 12 to 17 years of age who reported that it is "fairly easy" or "very easy" to obtain Alcoholic Beverages.
