“861,000 young people reported binge drinking on 5 or more days over the past month.” This stood out to be because I didn’t realize that underage drinking was so common in the United States.

The fact that drinking alcahol starts at the age of 15 mostly when the age limit is 21.

According to the statistics, it says  about 60 percent of teens have had at least 1 drink when they are 18 years old. It was shocking to me because I didn't know teenagers tend to drink more through binge drinking. This is a serious issue in our country.

People ages 12 through 20 drink 11 percent of all alcohol consumed in the United States .Thats terrifying, there should be stricter use of alcohol

What I was surprised about was that teenage girls uses more alcohol than male teenagers but as the age increases the male's use of alcohol is more than the female's.

The stats that most stood out to me is how more than half, 60%, of teens have had a drink before. It also shows that more girls drink than boys even though it takes less alcohol drinks to get intoxicated.

What I was surprised by was the fact that so many under aged teens drank alcohol before and received it for free. They have also tried the use of narcotics.

By age 15, about 33 percent of teens have had at least 1 drink.¹ i thought that was super interesting and alarming at the same time.

In the article it said, " As adolescents get older, they tend to drink more. Prevalence of drinking by boys and girls is similar, although among older adolescents, boys binge more than girls." This stood out to me because I hadn't known there was a correlation between gender and alcohol consumption

"In 2015, 7.7 million young people ages 12–20 reported that they drank alcohol beyond “just a few sips” in the past month".
This statistic is very alarming to me because kids about the same age as me are getting addicted to drinking which can have a really detrimental effect to health.

The statistics which stood out to me the most were that 12th graders make up 33.2% of the alcohol consumption, and 22.5% of marrrijuana consumption. This shows me that people  at such a young age are abusing drrugs which can be so harmful to them, especially when most of us know the negative impact which these drrugs can have on our body.

I found it shocked to find out that they are counting people who are 18. So that means that this information was from the United States.

"many youth may have easy access to alcohol. In 2015, among 12–14-year-olds who reported that they drank alcohol in the past month, 95.1 percent reported that they got it for free the last time they drank." Wow. I expected it to be way less than 95.1 for those in their pre-teens as well.

In the article, it said "alcohol is a factor in the deaths of 4,358 young people under age 21 each year." This stood out to me because I did not expect the numbers to be that high. The chart also shocked me

"In 2015, 7.7 million young people ages 12–20 reported that they drank alcohol beyond “just a few sips” in the past month" This stood out to me the most because consuming alcohol is harmful and here I'm learning about kids as young as 12 trying it out.
