Seems about right to me.

Now, for the 6% that have had 40+ days of drinking, that may seem low but the more I think about it, the more reasonable it becomes. Figure 40 days is about once a month for 3 and a half years, or once every other week for a year and a half, or once every week for 9 months ... thats a pretty difficult pace for a kid in highschool to keep up.
Im almost 15, and have never drank more that 1. Guess im lame
