Sleep more and binge drink less

Teens Who Skimp On Sleep Now Have More Drinking Problems Later : Shots - Health News : NPR:

Sleep-deprived teenagers find it difficult to focus in class, and they're more likely get sick. They are also more likely to develop problems with alcohol later on, according to a study published Friday in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research.
The study included teens who suffered from conditions like insomnia as well as those who simply weren't getting enough sleep. Teenagers ages 14 through 16 who had trouble falling or staying asleep were 47 percent more likely to binge drink than their well-rested peers.
Sleep problems were linked to even more issues with alcohol later on.
