Youth drinkers do not mimic the alcohol brand choices of adults, suggesting that other factors may be influencing their drinking preferences, according to a new study led by a Boston University School of Public Health researcher. The report, published online by Substance Abuse, is the first study to compare the brand-specific consumption of alcohol between underage youth and adults. The researchers identified several brands that appear to be disproportionally consumed by youth, including: Keystone Light beer, Bacardi malt beverages, Malibu rum, Captain Morgan rum, and Smirnoff malt beverages.
