Many factors lead teens to abuse alcohol, but culture plays the biggest role. That is the finding of researchers at George Mason University who recently completed a study of adolescent drinking in the United States. The goal of the study "Understanding Teen Drinking Cultures in America" is to help parents, community leaders and schools develop strategies that will effectively reduce the rate of teen alcohol consumption.
