Movies influencing alchoholism

Twenty-seven percent of adolescents, 10-19 years old, in a survey conducted by the journal, Pediatrics, said that they had consumed at five or more drinks on at least one occasion, according to an article on Health.com.

Dr. Dimitri Christakis, director of the Center for Child Health, Behavior and Development at Seattle Children’s Research Institute, told HealthDay News that these individuals are vulnerable to suggestion because they're seeking identity and role models.

According to this study, 86 percent of 655 movies included at least one alcohol scene.
