Youth drinking increases againSunday 6th May, 2007
Incidents of binge drinking among Cayman Islands youth have doubled within the past decade, according to a study released last month by the National Drug Council.
A survey of nearly 2,500 students in grades 7–12 last year found that 15 per cent of those students admitted to having five or more drinks in one sitting at least once in the past month.
In 1998, a survey of about 1,950 students found a little over seven per cent admitted to having five or more drinks at least once within the past month.
