Alcoholism as Adults People who begin drinking at an early age face enormous risks of becoming alcoholics. According to the results of a national survey of 43,093 adults, 47% of those who had begun drinking alcohol before the age of 14 became alcohol dependent at some time in their lives, compared with 9% of those who waited at least until age 21. This correlation holds even when genetic risks for alcoholism are taken into account. In addition, those who began drinking before age 13 were much more likely even in high school to frequently drink to intoxication.
