habits
 To diminish and gradually eliminate these
habits (for those who have already developed

existence of Republic Act 9211 or the Tobacco
Regulation Act of 2003. [World Health

Survey (GYTS)]

10.  Those who were raised with both parents

and brain cells.

12.  In 1994, 60% or 5.3 million Filipino youths
were said to be drinking alcoholic beverages.
 About 4.2 million of them are males and 1.1
million are females.
 On the average, Filipino youths start drinking
alcohol at the age of 16 or 17. However, there
are also many cases when children as young as
12 years old are already drinking alcoholic
beverages.
The minimum legal drinking age is eighteen, but underage drinking is common in our country.

13.  About 37 per cent of the respondents in the
survey have continued the habit of drinking
alcohol while 33 per cent said they only drink
alcoholic beverages on special occasions. Some
17 per cent said they have already decided to
stop the vice of drinking.
 Among girls, drinking is more acceptable than
smoking. But it is considered more appropriate
for men than for women to drink.

14.  The teenagers said their family, friends, and the
mass media have influenced them to experiment

 Coma (extreme intoxication)
Each of these behavioral effects varies according to how the adolescent's body metabolizes the
alcohol, the individual's body weight, the amount of alcohol ingested, and whether previous drinking
has led to tolerance.
