Rehab News:Students who 'drink to cope' more likely to develop problems

New research into the reasons why high school seniors in the US turn to alcohol has found four identifiable causes of drinking and said those who drink to avoid problems in their lives are more likely to experience problems as a result.

The students were identified as those that want to experiment with alcohol, those that drink for the thrill of it, and others because it helps them relax. However, the new study finds that a fourth group of high school students share all those reasons for drinking, but they also drink to get away from problems and to deal with anger or frustration issues.

The study, published in the December issue of Prevention Science, a peer-reviewed journal of the Society for Prevention Research, looked at 1,877 students from the national Monitoring the Future survey conducted annually.

It was found that students whose drinking was related to coping were also more likely to begin drinking at an earlier age, more likely to be drunk in the past year and more likely to drink before 16:00, compared to students who drank to experiment with alcohol, to experience the thrill of drinking or just to relax.

"It is important to know why high school seniors drink so parents, teachers and high school counsellors can pay special attention to the needs of the small but high-risk group of seniors who offer multiple reasons for drinking and who also have anger or frustration issues," said Dr Donna Coffman of Penn State University.

"Research shows that drinking patterns established during adolescence are likely to continue through adulthood."

Previous studies have found that alcohol use reaches its peak level during and immediately after high school graduation. It remains high through the age of 25.

"That is why the senior year of high school is a critical point for which to understand the motives for drinking and to establish healthier alcohol use behaviours," Dr Coffman said.
