The positive associations of antisocial behavior/deviant peer association and volume of use in high school would also indicate that limiting associations and unsupervised time with deviant peers should also have preventive effects.

Given the high costs to society of adolescent alcohol use, this indicates the value of further preventive efforts in these directions.
