“Half of Decatur middle and high school students were recently surveyed about their alcohol use. 22% of 10th graders and 42% of 12th graders reported having consumed alcohol in the past 30 days. 15% of 10th graders and 23% of 12th graders reported binge drinking in the past 30 days. We have an issue in our community that we need to talk about.”
