Age of Majority Cards and Drinking among Young People.

Smart, Reginald G.; Adlaf, Edward M.

Journal of Alcohol and Drug Education, v32 n3 p60-64 Spr 1987

Examined use of age of majority cards (identification indicating legal drinking age status in Ontario) among 3,395 secondary school students. Found card status to be significantly related to frequency of alcohol use, problems, and place of drinking. Found little evidence that age of majority cards are an effective device for limiting access of underage drinkers to alcoholic beverages. (Author/NB)
