Question 31 • *CR Foundations of Personal Wellness S2 [ELECTIVE, Y4904OX]

Which of the following statements is NOT true about the consequences of alcohol?

Answer

Drinking alcohol increases the likelihood of engaging in risky sexual activity, such as unprotected sex.

Adolescents who drink alcohol are more likely to drop out of high school than their peers who don't drink.

Alcohol related crashes involving teenagers accounts for approximately 5,000 deaths per year in the US.

Students diagnosed with alcohol abuse are four times more likely to experience major depression.

Explanation

The statement about crashes is not true: alcohol-related crashes involving teenagers do not cause approximately 5,000 deaths each year in the United States. That figure is far too high for teen alcohol-related crash deaths. The other statements describe recognized risks associated with adolescent alcohol use, including risky sexual behavior, dropping out of school, and depression.
