What I should say is that it was is very interesting findings that young girls are being hospitalized more frequently than boys in the 10-19 age group. Also overall support that strategies are needed to reduce harmful drinking practices in youth, as it is often tied to other high risk adverse events. Also note that the data for this is specific to alcohol hospitalization only, collected from hospital discharge data and Stats Canada voluntary surveys. We don't have a source to link all harm that is related to alcohol use (ie injuries sustained from impair driving)
Makes sense to me, its been a decade now but girls would get loaded drinking 7% coolers vs 5% beers. They also seemed to be way more into doing shots.
