Answer 2

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the following statements about the consequences of alcohol are true except B. Adolescents who drink alcohol are actually more likely to complete high school than those who do not drink.

Research has found that adolescent drinkers are more likely to engage in a range of negative behaviors, such as engaging in unprotected sex, getting involved in fights, and experiencing alcohol-related accidents. They are also at greater risk for developing alcohol dependence later in life. However, there is some evidence to suggest that adolescent drinkers may also be more likely to complete high school, although the reasons for this are not entirely clear.
