    Even without reading the article, you can see they’re phrasing the highest rate of people who’d drunk once by 13 as the worst rate of child alcohol consumption. A lot of that consumption would’ve been legal and nothing untoward.

      Even without reading the article

      To be honest I thought the same, but I wanted to verify that the summary wasn’t simply misleading, which is why I went in and read the article in greater depth before commenting. Maybe the article itself had more to say. But nope, that’s really all there is to it.

        Well, you have a strain of intellectual honesty and patience that I was lacking in that fateful day.
