Alcohol is the most used drug by teens and the biggest drug problem our teenagers face today. Unfortunately, many parents underestimate the dangers alcohol poses to kids.
The U.S. Surgeon General surmises about 5,000 kids under 21 die every year as a result of underage drinking. 1 Alcohol poisoning, car crashes, homicides, and suicides are among the increased risks teens face when they've been drinking.
While many parents of teens don't think their children would ever drink, the truth is, most teens experiment with alcohol. It's important to know the warning signs that your teen has been drinking.
Teens who are planning a party or gathering where they will be drinking usually show several telltale signs. Be on the lookout for:
Any of these signals are cause for you to check further by talking to your teen about your suspicions. 2 You can always check with other parents as well.
If your teen comes home from a party and you smell alcohol on their breath or clothing, it is a sure sign they've been drinking. They may try to evade you or lie about why they smell like alcohol.
If your teen is stumbling, slurring their speech, or acting out of character, these are also signs that there has been alcohol or drug use.
Be on the lookout for signs a hangover in the morning, too. If your teen suddenly gets the "flu" after being out with friends, they may be trying to disguise a hangover. Here are some signs your teen may have consumed alcohol: 3
According to the Surgeon General, when teens drink, they tend to drink a lot at one time. 1 Teens party with others and socially drink so they drink less often than adults. But when teens do drink, they consume more alcohol than adults.
On average, young people have about five drinks on a single occasion. 4 This is called binge drinking, a very dangerous way of drinking that can lead to serious problems and even death.
If your teen is showing these signs, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room:
It's possible for teens to develop serious problems with alcohol. It can happen without you even being aware. While these signs could point to another problem, they could also be indicative of a substance use issue. 5
If you see these signs combined with catching your teen drinking, seek professional help for them immediately. Your teen may need outpatient counseling or perhaps, even residential treatment.

The percentage of teens in high school who drink and drive has decreased by more than half since 1991.
One in 10 teens in high school drinks and drives.*
Young drivers (ages 16-20) are 17 times more likely to die in a crash when they have a blood alcohol concentration of .08% than when they have not been drinking.
The percentage of teens in high school who drink and drive has decreased by more than half since 1991,* but more can be done. Nearly one million high school teens drank alcohol and got behind the wheel in 2011. Teen drivers are 3 times more likely than more experienced drivers to be in a fatal crash. Drinking any alcohol greatly increases this risk for teens.
Research has shown that factors that help to keep teens safe include parental involvement, minimum legal drinking age and zero tolerance laws, and graduated driver licensing systems. These proven steps can protect the lives of more young drivers and everyone who shares the road with them.
*High school students aged 16 years and older who, when surveyed, said they had driven a vehicle one or more times during the past 30 days when they had been drinking alcohol.
Fewer teens are drinking and driving, but this risky behavior is still a major threat.
*Blood alcohol concentration. It is illegal for adults to drive with a BAC of .08% or higher. It is illegal for anyone under age 21 to drive after drinking any alcohol in all US states.

Fortunately, underage drinking has actually been steadily declining for decades in the United States. However, it is still prevalent enough to be a major public health concern.
Underage drinking began a steep decline back in the 1980s when Congress passed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act, which required states to raise the age for legal purchase and possession of alcohol to 21 by October 1986 or lose 10% of their federal highway funds.
By 1988, all 50 states and the District of Columbia had adopted 21 as the minimum drinking age, setting off a steady decline in underage drinking rates among 8th, 10th and 12th-grade students that continues today.
However, according to the 2014 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), an estimated 8.65 million Americans age 12 to 20 reported that they were current drinkers , meaning they had at least one drink in the past 30 days. 1
Males still binge drink and drink daily more than underage females, but the differences are diminishing. White students report the highest levels of drinking, Hispanics are next and Blacks report the lowest rates.
Of those students who have problems or who drop out, 80% report having gotten drunk in the past month, or reported binge drinking, or reported drinking and driving in the past 30 days. 2
According to SAMSHA, teen drinking is defined in terms of non-drinkers, light, binge, and heavy drinkers.
For some students, drinking alcohol is their only behavioral problem, but for others, drinking goes along with other problem behaviors linked to unconventionality, impulsiveness, and sensation seeking, according to research. 3
Adolescents age 12 to 17 who use alcohol are more likely to report behavioral issues, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Especially behavior that is aggressive, delinquent, or criminal.
Typically, binge drinking among students begins around age 13, increases during adolescence, peaks in young adulthood (ages 18-22), and then gradually decreases. 3
However, studies have found that young people who increase their binge drinking between ages 18 and 24 or who consistently binge drink at least once a week during those years may having problems in the following areas: 4
There are many reasons why some adolescents begin a pattern of alcohol abuse and develop alcohol use disorders while others do not. Here are some of the key risk factors.
Research has shown that genetic factors play a role in a person's vulnerability to developing alcohol problems . 5
We know for certain that children of parents with an alcohol use disorder are significantly more likely to have a problem with drinking themselves compared to children of parents who do not have an alcohol use disorder. But, a family history of alcohol misuse is not the only determining factor.
Environmental influences also play a role in whether someone develops an alcohol use disorder and can vary widely from person to person. 5 We also know that environmental influences can mitigate some of the genetic influences, leading those with genetic vulnerabilities to not develop issues with alcohol.
Studies have revealed that brain waves caused by a response to specific stimuli can provide measurable brain activity that can predict some risk of alcoholism . P300, a specific brain wave that occurs about 300 milliseconds following a stimulus of light or sound, is one of the brain waves used in these studies. 6
Scientists were able to predict alcohol use in preadolescent boys four years later at the average age of 16 by measuring their P300 brain waves. 7
Behavior patterns in early childhood have also be found to be predictors of later drinking problems. At age 3, children who were classified as "under controlled"— impulsive , restless, or distractible—were twice as likely to be diagnosed with alcohol use disorders at age 21 compared to 3-year-olds classified as "inhibited" or "well-adjusted." 8
Children who exhibit aggressiveness as early as ages 5 to 10 years old are more likely to use alcohol and other drugs during adolescence.
Children who exhibit antisocial behavior are more likely to have alcohol-related problems during adolescence and severe alcohol use disorders in adulthood, research shows. 6
Alcohol consumption and a variety of psychiatric disorders have been linked in adolescents and young adults in several research studies: 9
Along with the factors listed above, there are a number of psychosocial factors that increase the risk of underage youth making a decision to begin early-onset alcohol consumption.
Parents are the single most important influence on their children's decision to become involved in substance use or not. Studies show that parents who drink or express favorable attitudes about drinking are linked to their children initiating alcohol consumption and continuing to drink. 10
Children who are warned about the dangers of alcohol by their parents are less likely to start drinking underage. The same is true for children who report being close to their parents.
A lack of parental communication, support, and monitoring have been linked by researchers to the frequency of drinking, heavy drinking , and drunkenness among adolescents. 11 Studies have also linked parental hostility, rejection, and harsh, inconsistent discipline to childhood drinking and alcohol-related problems. 12
