Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
All 50 states and the District of Columbia have outlawed the sale of alcohol to anyone under the age of 21 years, yet it is still the most commonly used drug among children and adolescents. Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug in the United States. The use of other illegal drugs in high school students includes cocaine (6.8), inhalants (11.4), heroin (2.9), methamphetamine, (3.8) and steroids (3.6).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Nearly one quarter (22.6) of persons aged 12 or older participated in binge drinking (about 58.3 million people). Heavy drinking was reported by 6.2 of the population aged 12 or older, or 15.9 million people. Among young adults aged 18 to 25 in 2011, the rate of binge drinking was 39.8. The rate of alcohol use among youths aged 12 to 17 was 13.3 in 2011. Youth binge and heavy drinking rates in 2011 were 7.4 and 1.5, respectively. Binge and heavy drinking is less likely to occur in adults aged 25 to 65 years or the elderly who are 65 years old and older.
