website, a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests that “teen drinking appears to have reached a new low.” The report indicates that “the percent of teens who reported drinking at least one drink per month dropped from 50.8 percent in 1991 to just 32.8 percent in 2015.” But, “those who reported drinking tended to also report what is considered binge drinking: 57.8 percent of teens who reported drinking said they have had five drinks in a row.” CNN (5/11, Jimison) reports that study author Dr. Robert Brewer, “director of the excessive alcohol use prevention team at the CDC,” said, “We have made some progress from a public health standpoint in reducing current and binge drinking among high school students, but we still have a lot of work to do.” http://abcnews.go.com/Health/teen-student-drinking-25-year-low-binge-drinking/story?id=47346391
