The main causes of death in young males are accidents, in some countries even violence. This highest risk is associated with binge drinking, i.e. consumption of alcohol in significant quantities, with the purpose of getting drunk. Young age drinking suggests strongly that unhealthy lifestyles are about to be established, not only with drinking. The risk for habituation and dependency, and even toxic damage to bodily organs is high. The earlier a person establishes drinking habit, the higher the risk for alcohol related problems. If the adult society demonstrates caution with alcohol, and keeps consumption low, it is likely that young people will do the same. This is a nice illustration of how the over-all consumption level of alcohol in a society, to a large extent determines the incidence of harm in the same society. Individuals are different, and some are definitely more vulnerable than others.
