The issue (IMHO) is that its an EASILY available drug, that young patients (adolescents) who want attention will take whatever is available (addn this is) and drink a tad bit of alohol to keep themselves happy. What needs to happen is more education, more outreach, and more help for those in need. Something must have been wrong for him to take it; just goes to show that the socail net is still weak. Eug PS- You also want to avoid asprin in children+teens, but that's a diff. issue.
