re: Do teens drink alcohol more now compared to the 80s and 90s?

Growing up in Shreveport, once you enter Sophomore yr of High School and people can drive, that's when drinking at house parties starts. I think every single weekend of high school from beginning of Sophomore, Junior and Senior year, there was a house party every weekend. Would usually put down like 7 or 8. This was 2008-11.

When I told my Texas friends about this, they were dumbfounded. They did no drinking at all in high school or have parties like that. Maybe just different culture.
