Fifteen-year-olds from higher socioeconomic backgrounds drink more frequently. A study conducted in Brno showed that they adopted their drinking habits from both their parents and friends.

Researchers from RECETOX  at Masaryk University’s Faculty of Science examined the relationship between underage drinking and family background and the urban environment. The environmental  epidemiology research group used data from a cohort of people born in Brno.
