„By age 15, 23% of adolescents report having been drunk more than once in their life on average across EU countries, and 17% of 15-year-olds report having been drunk at least once in the past month. This is despite the fact that the legal drinking age is 18 in most countries. Adolescents who report early initiation to alcohol and having been drunk on several occasions are more likely to develop alcohol dependence later in life.“
