Adolescent and Young Adult Drunkenness and Future Educational Attainment and Labor Market Integration: A Population-Based Longitudinal Study.

Our results indicate that the effect of drunkenness changes during the developmental course. In early teenage years, drunkenness seems to be a marker of risk and is linked to poor educational outcomes and weak labor market integration. From the early twenties, drunkenness instead seems to be related to positive educational and work-related outcomes.
