Abstract
In a survey of 75 male and female adolescent athletes only 14 % of the total sample reported to be non-drinkers. Twenty-one percent of the sample reported alcohol use within the week that the Adolesent Alcohol Involvement Scale was administered. The subjects of this descriptive study spent at least 20 hours a week participating in organized sports. Although more males reported alcohol use, female gymnasts appeared to have the highest percentage for alcohol use and misuse. Based on the data collected, alcohol use appears to be the hidden curriculum for the adolescent athlete.Keywords
