A new study links R-rated movies to adolescent drinking, suggesting that parents shouldn’t allow their underage children to watch R-rated movies. Researchers studied nearly 3,600 middle-school children in New England, and found that among those whose parents didn’t allow them to watch R-rated movies, few started drinking over the next few years.
Half of all Australian parents think teenagers should be allowed to drink alcohol before they turn 18, according to a survey conducted by health fund MBF. The findings also suggest that the concept has its greatest support among wealthy Australians.
Researchers writing in the open access journal BMC Public Health studied the drinking habits of 9,833 15- to 16-year-olds in the North West of England, finding that excessively low cost alcohol products and illicit purchase are strongly related to harmful underage drinking.
