The 2009 Youth Risk Behavior Survey found that among high school students, during the past 30 days 28% rode with a driver who had been drinking alcohol.
The main difference between alcoholism (pathological alcohol dependence) and willful alcohol abuse is whether a person can stop drinking at will; if they cannot, then there is "impaired control" over their alcohol use, which is the primary indicator of an alcohol addiction.
How Many Tweens and Teens Are Drinking? Not as many as a lot of them believe and tell each other. The rate of current alcohol use among youth ages 12 to 17 was 15.9 percent in 2007. That means 84.1 percent, or more than four out of five students, did not use alcohol.
People who are alcohol dependent are three times more likely than those in the general population to be smokers.
