Practice question

What is considered a high-risk alcohol consumption behavior among sexually active teens?

  1. Drinking alcohol moderately
  2. Having five or more drinks daily
  3. Not drinking at all
  4. Attending school events

Answer: B — Having five or more drinks daily

High-risk alcohol consumption behavior among sexually active teens is characterized by excessive drinking, and having five or more drinks daily aligns with this definition. Engaging in such heavy drinking increases the likelihood of impairment, which can lead to risky sexual behaviors, poor decision-making, and greater vulnerability to unsafe situations. In contrast, moderate drinking does not pose the same level of risk and abstaining from alcohol altogether is the safest option for teens. Additionally, attending school events does not inherently relate to alcohol consumption patterns and does not indicate high-risk behavior in terms of drinking. Therefore, having five or more drinks daily clearly signifies a pattern of excessive and risky drinking, making it the correct identification of high-risk behavior for sexually active teens.
