the effects of alcohol abuse

I'm looking for more sources about alcohol and drug addiction because I'm finishing my homework. I really love the topic and I really want to present a nice report. I'm not doing this just for the grade but I'm also doing this as a way of spreading awareness so that my classmates will not turn out to be alcoholics and drug addicts.

What a nice student! I really admire your desire of spreading social awareness. I've posted two links below to help you with your report. Try to do a good job, okay? Be a role model to your classmates. Keep it up!

I need some quick and hard facts from credible sources on underage drinking in China.
stuff like "____ many underage teens suffer from alcohol addiction"
or "_____ vendors have admitted to have sold to underage teens"

if there are too many reasons, give me websites, which may even be better. i need this for a speech im giving, please help thanks!

Since the drinking age was only introduced a few years ago, statistics involving underage drinking are hard to come by, other than to say 80% of high school students have "tried" drinking alcohol.

However, the Shanghai Star did report vague statistics compiled in a study of young people and alcohol use. In the 1980s, a survey of 38,000 15 to 17-year-old Chinese students showed only 7 were addicted to alcohol (.02% approximately). A similar survey in the 1990s showed that number to be 3.7 times higher (.07%) (but still tiny compared to the West).

Statistics show that an average Chinese person consumes less than half of the alcohol an average European does. Their strict culture regulates consumption far better than legislation does in the West. Young (under 30) Chinese girls will rarely be seen smoking in public, and likewise, they will rarely consume alcohol of any amount.

Smoking is far more popular among boys, and likewise so is alcohol consumption. Still, amongst the young it is primarily done at social events, where very few young people are likely to be drinking alone.

I have quite a bit of experience living in China and socializing with college-aged students, and I would guess that less than 1% of *college students* suffer from alcohol addiction, and they are above age 18.

How many vendors will admit selling to underage teens? None will *admit* it, but ALL have done it -- because they never check ID. A very young child can go to a store and say he is buying beer for his father, and the store clerk will most likely sell it to them. It is common for children to pick up cigarettes for their parents.

About 2/3 of Chinese alcohol consumption is of spirits, in the form of a rice liquor called "bijio." Young people generally don't like the taste (as most non-Chinese people think it's disgusting), so drinking amongst the young is primarily in the form of low concentration beer. You will find considerably more alcohol addiction among the older population, some of whom drink bijio heated in the morning, like coffee. The only place you can get "cocktails" are Western-style nightclubs, and the price of foreign liquor is extremely expensive compared to Chinese brewed beer and liquor.

If you want to give a speech about addictions amongst Chinese teens, try *video games* instead. If your speech is about alcohol problems in the west, you can confidently say that Chinese teens don't have the same problem.

The best websites for statistics on Chinese alcohol use are below:

I would like to know what the stats are on addictions. Like what is the highest to lowest. There are so many addictions but I would have to guess, Alcohol, Drugs, Gambling, Sex, smoking, internet. Etc... what is more prevalent in our society today?

The worst addictions are the one that work the fastest and give the quickest shortest high. Like crack and ciggarettes.
Also If you breath it through your lung.s it gets to the brain faster. With gambling video poker is the most addicting. This is because it gives the gambler a false sense of control.
Alcohol really isn't that addicting. Only people that use it to self medicate or have a genetic precurser are seen in treatment

I need information, statistics, risks and consequences, short- and long-term effects, addiction, and refusal skills. I'm doing a skit at school about alcohol abuse but I think I need a little more information. can you help? Thanks a lot!

P.S. Don't respond if you're just going to say stuff like, look it up on google or wikipedia.

There's no point.. 82% of statistics are made up..
