IF YOU'RE UNDER 20, CAN YOU HANDLE ALCOHOL? - Michael A Snyder - May 1982

Michael A Snyder

The answer will surprise you! If you're under 20, chances are 7 out of 10 that you already have some experience with alcohol. From the global picture, it's clear that teenagers almost everywhere consume more alcohol than their predecessors. Three out of ten under 20 don't seem to handle it too well. These young people are already "problem drinkers"- who for one reason or another cannot control their consumption of alcoholic beverages. Statistically, these young people get drunk at least six times a year, have run-ins with police, suffer problems in school and/or with friends, family or driving. If you personally aren't one of these problem drinkers (whether teenage or not), the odds are that you know someone who is. But how can parents and teenagers cope with this problem, and learn the use of alcohol in the proper setting? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
