Proportionately, girls consume more alcohol than boys by the time they reach 14 years of age.
A study that was conducted by the National Institute of Health, reported that sales to under-age drinkers amount to almost 20% of the total alcohol market sales; this coverts in dollars to almost $20 billion in illegally purchased alcohol.
According to recent alcohol statistics, approximately 9.7 million current drinkers in the United States are between the ages of 12-20. Regarding these young drinkers, 18.7% are binge drinkers and 6% are excessive drinkers.
If an alcohol dependent person suddenly withdraws (withdrawal means to stop drinking or using drugs) from alcohol, he or she may suffer delirium tremens. Without proper medical supervision severe delirium tremens could end in death.
