Tóm tắt

SummaryThis paper reports four types of data which are relevant to the study of the effects of the increase in the drinking age. The data are from: (1) surveys of drinking and drinking problems among high school students; (2) a study of perceptions of vice‐principals; (3) a trend analysis of young drinking offender charges; and (4) trend analyses of drinking‐driving statistics. The results suggest a minimal effect for the changes in the legal drinking age.
