Project Northland is the largest community trial in the United States to focus on the prevention of alcohol use and alcohol-related problems among adolescents. This finding has tended to shift the focus of prevention efforts away from the identification of problem drinkers toward the prevention of alcohol use during adolescence ( Wagenaar and Perry 1995). In fact, because the general population includes more light and moderate drinkers than heavy drinkers, the former experience more alcohol-related problems as a group, even though as individuals they are at less risk than heavier drinkers ( National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism 1994). The widespread and often heavy alcohol use by adolescents are associated with significant morbidity and mortality (e.g., Chassin and DeLucia 1996) that are not confined to the group of more extreme users. Fifteen percent of 8th graders, 24 percent of 10th graders, 30 percent of 12th graders, and 40 percent of college students reported consuming five or more drinks in a row at least once in the 2 weeks before the survey ( Johnston et al. In addition, the survey results suggest that many young drinkers consume multiple drinks per drinking occasion. In a 1995 survey, 25 percent of 8th graders, 39 percent of 10th graders, 51 percent of 12th graders, and 68 percent of college students reported drinking at least once during the 30 days prior to being surveyed ( Johnston et al. One study found that only 9 percent of respondents born between 19 reported first using alcohol (i.e., “you first had a glass of beer or wine, or a drink of liquor such as whiskey, gin, scotch, etc.”) at age 15 or younger, compared with 33 percent of those surveyed who were born between 19 ( Johnson and Gerstein 1998). Additional evidence to support this shift in American attitudes toward alcohol includes the reinstatement of age 21 as the legal drinking age in all States by the mid-1980s and ongoing public activism, beginning in the mid-1970s, supporting tougher drunk-driving laws.ĭespite overall lower alcohol consumption in the United States, American youth drink more at younger ages. Along with other indications, a 15-percent drop in adult alcohol consumption since its most recent peak around 1980 ( Musto 1996) suggests that a third era of temperance may be under way. Current annual per person alcohol consumption among adults in the United States is only about one-third of what it was in the early 19th century ( Musto 1996). The game's campaign is spread out over eight missions, and you can also play an additional eight stand-alone missions that are unrelated to the story.Throughout the history of the United States, public opinion concerning alcohol use has oscillated from toleration to disapproval, and the average annual consumption of alcohol has risen and fallen in accordance with this pattern.
