TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - Alcohol and adolescents: who drinks and who doesn't? JO - Pediatrician A1 - Tucker, L. A. SP - 32 EP - 38 VL - 14 IS - 1-2 N2 - The primary purpose of the present study was to determine the extent to which adolescents who drink alcohol differ from those who do not. Multiple instruments were employed including Cattell's 16PF Questionnaire, Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale, Tucker's Perceived Somatotype Scale, the Physical Performance Test for California, and a written questionnaire to generate multidimensional profiles of 394 high school males.

RESULTS indicated that 66% of the subjects drank alcohol at least monthly. Drinkers differed from nondrinkers psychologically, physically, socially, and on several measures of life-style.
