During 1990 a survey was conducted of the self-reported drinking habits and alcohol-related knowledge and beliefs of a national sample of 7009 Scottish teenagers. The study group were age 14-16. Results indicated that only 3% of respondents had never consumed alcohol. The great majority of teenagers reported consuming only moderate quantities of alcohol. Even so 18.9% of males and 10.3% of females reported consuming 11 or more units on their last drinking occasion. The proportion of teenagers classified as 'heavy drinkers' increased markedly between the ages of 14 and 16. This study confirmed earlier findings indicating that Scottish teenagers are more likely than those in England to drink heavily and rather less frequently.
1990年，对7009名苏格兰青少年的全国样本进行了一项关于自我报告饮酒习惯以及与酒精相关知识和信念的调查。研究对象年龄在14至16岁之间。结果表明，只有3%的受访者从未饮酒。绝大多数青少年报告称只饮用适量的酒精。即便如此，18.9%的男性和10.3%的女性报告称在最近一次饮酒时饮用了11个或更多单位的酒精。被归类为“酗酒者”的青少年比例在14岁至16岁之间显著增加。这项研究证实了早期的研究结果，表明苏格兰青少年比英格兰青少年更有可能酗酒，且酗酒频率相对较低。
