Question

Among respondents who began drinking before the age of fifteen, which percentage of them were classified as alcohol dependent at some point in their life?

Answer 1

Around 40 percent of all respondents in this survey ended up with some form of alcoholism later in life. This goes to show how early intake of alcohol can be correlated with a higher likelihood of becoming dependent upon it. Social pressures and simply more time to develop the dependency are likely at work here.
