title: Alcohol use by Auckland high school students.
abstract: A survey of Auckland high school students asked questions about the use of alcohol and associated problems. Students classified as problem drinkers were more likely to have received their first drink from an older boy or girl, do more of their drinking in a car, hold attitudes more accepting of drunkenness and perceive their parents as either positive or very negative towards children's alcohol use. Among students who report their parents to have given specific guidelines for the use of alcohol a slightly smaller proportion were classified as problem drinkers.
