Alcohol Among Teenagers

Drinking Problems Start at an Early Age

I have had the privilege of interviewing hundreds of persons who have come to Narconon in order to conquer their drug or alcohol addiction. I have learned first hand through these interviews that most of those who have a bad drinking problem started at an early age. Whether they found the liquor in the family bar or got it from the next door neighbor, many of our clients started secretly drinking at an early age – 12 to 14 for many of them.
The individuals who market for the liquor industry also apparently know that long term drinkers start at an early age. There would be no other reason for the large amount of advertising money that they are obviously spending on targeting youth as customers for their brew.
Fortunately, there are more concerned families than there are persons marketing for liquor companies. We just have to alert families and let them know what they can do in order to send a message to make this marketing to their children stop.
This article does just that – Pass it along.


I hope that you don’t already have someone in your family who has a drinking problem, but if you do call 877-413-3073
