A New York Times article (Yes you need to register) covering a controversy over a recent study on alcohol. One of the claims is that half the alcoholic beverages purchased was for underage or problem drinkers.

Of course in my research into the matter I've found that the people involved in alcohol related problem behaviors such as DWI or counselling consider anyone who consumes any amount of alcohol on a daily basis (even one glass of wine with dinner) a "problem drinker," so this finding should be taken with suspicion.
