Generation "can of beer." Dr. Wagner Paulon 2010 Research has shown that almost all young people drink large amounts of alcohol especially beer, something over 70% between 15 and 17 years. The amazing thing is that many people want, on your own, get drunk. Alcoholic it became fashionable among young did not differ in social class. Wherever you go, no matter the hour, day, year, location, or whether it is day or night, there are lot of young people with the infamous "can of beer in his hand. The bars in the vicinity of schools, colleges and universities are filled with drunken students and others on the way, also bearing the famous "can of beer." Do these people not realize that their behavior to bear the ill-fated "latrinha of celveja" in any event whether festive, religious, social or school, (birthdays, weddings, school meetings to try to study and so on.) Is ridiculous and extremely aggressive to society? People who do so are grounds for teasing and playing the role of "court jesters," do not realize how much harm they are doing against their decency and character.

The results of a national survey of teens and parents to identify attitudes about substance abuse revealed the shocking news that kids aged 12 to 17 years old have easier access to prescription pain killers and tranquilizers then they do beer. The survey was sponsored by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University,(C.A.S.A.). Joseph A. Califano, President of C.A.S.A. in the survey’s accompanying statements wrote, “For the first time this year, more teens told us that prescription drugs are easier to buy than beer. The percentage of teens saying prescription drugs are easiest to buy increased 46 percent over last year.” The abundant supply of prescription drugs like Oxycotin, Percocet, Vicodin and Ritalin available to our youth 12 to 17 years old is outrageous. What is even more alarming is the fact that much of the prescription drugs teen are abusing is actually coming from their parent’s medicine cabinet. According to the study, one-third of the teens who know a prescription drug abuser say that kids who abuse prescription drugs get them from home or the medicine cabinet or from parents.
