More Girls Than Boys Drinking

Recent reports are showing that there are more girls than boys aged 12-14 years old that are engaging in binge drinking. The Center for Disease Control calls this “an alarming trend.”.

The CDC states:
“There are a multitude of dangers. . . Drinking and driving; being more likely to be sexually active; more likely to be engaged in sex without protection; more likely to be in physical fighting; more likely to have sexual abuse; more likely to use drugs."

A lot of "sex" dangers in there. I would think most of these are the same “risks” for boys, don’t you think? By saying this finding is "alarming," are they implying that a 13-year old boy is more capable of handling serious drinking than a 13-year old girl? Just a thought. But regardless, it is a little crazy that girls this young are engaging in binge drinking.

Kinda reminds me of that memo from a sherrif in NY somewhere who told women to make sure they were clean shaven in case they passed out from drinking and showed all the boys their naughty bits and could be taken advantage of. Nevermind that the MEN shouldn't be violating the women, but whatev.
