The Truth About Teen Alcohol Use 101 is a groundbreaking video that uses a social norms approach to show high school students that most of their peers do not drink. Asked about their schoolmates' alcohol use, teens in the video estimate that from 70 to 99% drink. An anonymous survey finds that the truth is very different 70% actually do not drink. In interviews and group discussions, this video separates the reality from the myth that everyone's doing it giving teens the confidence to be upfront about their own attitudes towards alcohol and helping them recognize their role as models for younger students.
