by Julie Johnson
Austin: Raintree Steck-Vaughn, c2001
Offers teens clear information about all kinds of alcoholic drinks and the effects of drinking on health and behavior. Provides conflicting opinions on alcohol, varying from from doctors point of view and those who have become dependent on alcohol.
“Why Do People Drink is an overview of issues involved in the initiation and continuation of adolescents' use of alcohol. The discussion of why teens begin to drink alcohol centers on the belief that drinking makes you appear older than you actually are, that alcohol use can make certain situations more fun, and that alcohol use is often induced by peer pressure. Repeatedly mentioned are the irresponsible use of alcohol and the use of alcohol to help cope with life's problems which may lead to alcohol dependence and ultimately addiction. This is important to explain to teens and pre-teens, who may believe that use of alcohol is not addictive.”
