This document summarizes a student's survey on underage drinking and partying among high school students. The survey included 10 questions and was completed by 20 students. Key findings were that 19 out of 20 students had attended a party with underage alcohol consumption, 85% had been to a party with marijuana use, and 40% considered themselves binge drinkers. Additional research found that 12.5 million youth drink annually and 74% of 9th to 12th graders have consumed alcohol. The statistics gathered were similar to those found in additional research. The conclusion is that underage drinking cannot be stopped, but students can be taught responsible drinking and safety.

1. Underage Drinking/ Partying
Survey

3. Relation to Twisted
The reason I did this survey was to
relate to the book “Twisted” by Laurie
Halse Anderson
In Twisted a big part of the story has to
do with a party with underage drinking

4. The Survey
The survey is titled Underage Drinking/
Partying Survey
It has 10 questions about underage
drinking
The questions were answered by 20
students of West Seneca West Senior
High

5. Reasons for doing this Survey
One of the reasons I did this survey
was to give you the reader, cold hard
facts about underage drinking
Also by doing this I hope to influence
people to make the right decisions
when it comes to underage drinking

6. Stats
Out of 20 people surveyed 19 people
have said that have been to a party
where minors were consuming alcohol
85% of the people surveyed said that
they were at a party where people were
using marijuana which as of the
moment is an illegal drug

7. Stats (Continued)
When asked the question do you
consider yourself a responsible drinker?
19 said yes the other has never drank
4 people said obtaining alcohol was
hard 2 said they had a fake id and 14
said it was easy none said impossible
 40% of students surveyed say the
binge drink

8. Research
My outside info came from Monheit Law
http://www.monheit.com/teenage-
drinking/statistics.asp
12.5 Million underage drinkers a year
74% of 9-12 graders had consumed at
least one alcoholic drink

9. Compare/Contrast
The statistics that I had personally
gathered and the stats from Monheit
Law seemed pretty similar
95% of the people I had surveyed said
they drank before and they had 74%
which is close considering I only
surveyed 20 kids

10. Co

11. Conclusion
As I conclude this power point
presentation I have come to the
conclusion that underage drink cant be
stopped you can only hope to contain it
And since we can not contain it we
should teach to drink responsible and to
always be a safe as possible
