Background and Purpose of the Study Drinking alcohol is dangerous for kids and teens and sometimes for adults, too. Alcohol is a drug, and it is the drug most abused by teens. Many kids have their first drink at an early age, as young as 10 or 11 or even younger. It's easy for kids to get the wrong message about alcohol. They might see their parents drink or watch TV commercials that make drinking look like a lot of fun. You might see people drinking and watching sports together or having a big party. But alcohol is actually a depressant. That means it's a drug that slows down or depresses the brain. Like many drugs, alcohol changes a person's ability to think, speak, and see things as they really are. A person might lose his or her balance and have trouble walking properly. The person might feel relaxed and happy and later start crying or get in an argument. When a violent crime against another person is committed, about half of the reported crimes are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, but more closely related to the use of alcohol. Over 50% of men that have committed sexual assaults are under the influence of alcohol, as are the victims of the assault. And 75% of violent offenses in the Army are alcohol related.(www.HumanTruth.info)
