HealthDay (10/13, Reinberg) reports research indicates that “fewer young people are drinking alcohol now than 20 years ago.” After collecting “data on more than 180,000 young U.S. adults who took part in a survey,” investigators found that “the number of men and women in the United States between the ages of 18 to 22 who abstained from drinking increased from 20% to 28% for college students and from 24% to 30% for those not in school.” In addition, “alcohol abuse dropped by about half.” The findings were published online in JAMA Pediatrics.
