Best answer:

Answer by boredandlonely
Alcohol abuse or binge drinking certainly around where i live. I think its because its really easy to get hold of teens are bored and looking for something to do, it makes them feel more grown up or look cool etc. (which is obviously not the case) Also they seem to think (as i did) that it helps block out the way they are feeling or can help them be more outgoing. It is difficult to process emotions that you arnt sure of when your a teen hormones, anger and all that.
