Statistics indicate that alcohol is the most commonly used substance among teenagers, with varying rates of use across different grades. Approximately 17% of eighth graders, 28% of tenth graders, and 46.5% of twelfth graders reported using alcohol in the past year. A significant portion of this alcohol is procured in ways that can involve parents, such as parents supplying it or teenagers obtaining it from siblings and friends with fake IDs.
