Alcohol use among high school students has decreased significantly over the past two decades but it's still very common. 

A new study from the Centers of Disease Control shows 1 in 3 high school students drank alcohol in 2015.

More than half the students who drank were binge drinkers and many consumed 8 or more drinks in a row.

Most students said they got alcohol from other people and binge drinkers say they often gave money to others to purchase it for them.
