Published September 26, 2018 5:44pm ET



Adolescents in Europe aren’t drinking as much as they used to, according to a World Health Organization report published Wednesday.

The University of St. Andrews studied drinking habits of European adolescents in 36 countries for a period of 12 years. The report found that 28 percent of 15-year-olds started drinking at age 13 or younger in 2014. However, the rate fell from 46 percent in 2002.
