As much as parents may not like to think about it, the truth is that many kids and teens try alcohol during their high school and college years, long before it is legal for them to drink it. Some research has shown that nearly 80% of high school kids have tried alcohol.
Although experimentation with alcohol may be common among kids, it’s not safe or legal. To help prevent alcohol abuse in children, it’s a good idea to begin discussing alcohol use and abuse with kids at an early age and to continue openly communicating about it as they grow up.
