I am writing to you about my concern of teen alcoholism. Alcoholism is a disease of the family, if only one family member has a drinking problem it still affects the rest of the family. Many relationships have ended because of the husband’s or wife's drinking problem. Families play a big role in recovering from alcoholism, if the family helps a lot it increases the better chances of recovering alcoholism. First use of alcohol usually begins at the age of 13. By senior year almost sixty four percent of the student day that they have been drunk at least once. Teenagers who drink a lot seem to cut class or skip school. Drinking a lot will also cause them to have bad behavior like running away from home, fighting, stealing, and getting arrested.
