Look at this:
Writing in the journal Pediatrics, the CDC team said they analyzed data from 15,214 high-school students (aged 14 to 18) who completed the 2003 Youth Risk Behavior Survey.
They found that 45 percent of the students admitted having drunk alcohol in the past month. Of these, 64 percent were binge-drinkers.
And the binge drinkers were not simply experimenting -- 69 percent reported having done so more than once in the past 30 days.
Teen drinkers in general were more than twice as likely to be sexually active as non-drinkers, the researchers found.
here is one of the sources:http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070102/hl_nm/teens_drinking_dc
So why wast time (and our tax money) arresting them and hiding marijuana from them, when we have a drug that is hurting some of the teens who abuse it?
I sense a lack of parenting. People are so close minded nowadays.
