A new report states that there is a strong relationship between alcohol use among youth and fighting, stealing, driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, skipping school, feeling depressed, and deliberately trying to hurt or kill themselves.
In 2003, the percentage of first-semester boys and girls who binged on alcohol at least twice a week was 41 and 34 respectively.
It is the amount of alcohol that is consumed that affects an individual the most, not the type of alcoholic drink; a person may drink a 12 ounce beer or an one and a half ounce shot--both have about the same amount of alcohol.
A standard drink is any drink that contains about 14 grams of pure alcohol (about 0.6 fluid ounces or 1.2 tablespoons). This is the amount of alcohol usually found in: �'One 12-ounce beer �'One 4- to 5-ounce glass of wine �'One 1.5-ounce shot of 80-proof liquor
