Teenagers in the Czech Republic drink more alcohol than in any other
European country, according to a study. Based on data from 2011, the
European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs reports that four
out of five Czech 16-years drank alcohol over a one month period, compared
to the European average of 57%. Moreover, Czech teens were more likely to
drink heavily compared with other countries, surpassed only by teenagers in
Denmark and Malta. While experience with drugs, including marijuana, has
dropped slightly, alcohol intoxication among teens has risen, with one
fifth of teens saying they had been intoxicated three or more times in the
last month compared to 14% in 1995.
