Abstract
A report of games played by elementary school children on a Native American reservation in the United States illustrates how intoxicated adult behavior is perceived as funny. Only later does one develop an awareness that the consequences of misuse can be injury, illness, and death. Prevention messages targeted at elementary school children need to provide positive alternatives to the humor in drunkenness and may need to be culturally adapted. Examples of some culturally specific approaches are discussed.Keywords
