There was a strong relationship between drinking onset age and young adult drink-driving level: those with drinking onset under age 14 were more likely to report more severe levels of young adult drink-driving. These findings offer sound, longitudinal evidence of the relationship between early drinking onset and young adult drink-driving level and underscore the need for early prevention efforts.
