Consumption of alcoholic beverages by young women of drinking age in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Europe was reported (The Wall Street Journal, February 15, 2006). Data (annual consumption in liters) consistent with the findings reported in The Wall Street Journal article are shown for a sample of 20 European young women.

266 82 199 174 97
170 222 115 130 169
164 102 113 171 0
