An account is presented of a survey of self-reported drinking habits and beliefs about alcohol amongst a national sample of teenagers in England. Fieldwork was conducted during 1988 and 1989 and involved 27 systematically selected state secondary (high) schools. Respondents were virtually all aged 14-16. The majority of teenagers reported drinking only moderate amounts of alcohol. Even so, a third of the males and nearly a fifth of the females reported having at some time consumed the equivalent of five and a half pints of beer on a single occasion. Factual knowledge about alcohol was not high and more than half of the study group supported a reduction in the legal minimum age at which alcohol may be purchased in licensed premises.
本文介绍了一项针对英格兰全国青少年样本自我报告的饮酒习惯及对酒精看法的调查。实地调查于1988年至1989年期间进行，涉及27所经系统挑选的公立中学。受访者几乎都是14至16岁。大多数青少年报告称饮酒量适中。即便如此，三分之一的男性和近五分之一的女性报告称曾在某一时刻一次性饮用相当于五点五品脱啤酒的量。关于酒精的实际知识水平不高，超过半数的研究群体支持降低在有许可证场所购买酒精的法定最低年龄。
