In the past three years, the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento saw a 30 percent increase in children between 12 and 17 checking into the ER with injuries from binge drinking, with higher blood alcohol levels than in the past.
In the U.S., more than 40% of those who start drinking at age 14 or younger become alcoholic.
