The 2009 Youth Risk Behavior Survey found that among high school students, during the past 30 days 42% drank some amount of alcohol.
Among eighth graders, students with higher grade point averages reported less alcohol use in the past 30 days.
Studies have shown that about 1 of 20 pregnant women drank excessively before finding out they were pregnant. No amount of alcohol is safe to drink during pregnancy. For women who drink during pregnancy, stopping as soon as possible may lower the risk of having a child with physical, mental, or emotional problems.
There is a growing body of reputable research which suggests that motivational-enhancement interventions may be effective for reducing alcohol use and negative consequences in the context of prevention for college students; these intervention tools are nonjudgmental and not confrontational, and have the goal of enhancing student's intrinsic motivation to change behavior by educating them about the effects of alcohol abuse.
