drinking

i recently read an article in the Leicester mercury which said that most people who drink are teenagers . this made me queries on the topic . so i did more research about the topic on the Internet .i found out that alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence are not only adult problems -- they also affect a significant number of adolescents and young adults between the ages of 12 and 20, even though drinking under the age of 21 is illegal.
The average age when youth first try alcohol is 11 years for boys and 13 years for girls. The average age at which Americans begin drinking regularly is 15.9 years.
