Internet Use Linked to Teen Drinking

Internet Use Linked to Teen Drinking - FoxNews.com

Teens who drink alcohol spend more time using the computer for activities such as social networking than do those who don't drink alcohol, according to a new study.

The study found a link between recreational use of the computer (for non-school related activities) and teen drinking.

The finding suggests certain online activities may influence teen drinking. For instance, it's possible references to alcohol on social networking sites or online advertisements may encourage teenagers to drink, the researchers say.
