Young drinkers are more likely to use alcohol to relieve stress when they get older. A National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism survey found that, among adults with a high level of stress in their lives, people who began drinking at age 14 or younger drank five times more than their peers who started drinking at age 18 or older, consuming an average of six drinks per day.
