QUOTE: Environmental factors, such as the influence of parents and peers, also play a role in alcohol use (44). For example, parents who drink more and who view drinking favorably may have children who drink more, and an adolescent girl with an older or adult boyfriend is more likely to use alcohol and other drugs and to engage in delinquent behaviors (45).
If teens see their parents or friends drinking teens are gonna want to try to do the same thing. Parents are their examples to their kids so this is one reason teens are more willing to try drinking
