With the holidays around the corner, we’re all a little more likely to indulge, especially when it comes to alcohol. While a few extra drinks might be brushed off as holiday cheer, they can actually signal a problem in young adults. That’s because the bad habits we pick up in our youth may stay with us later in life, according to a new study co-authored by Erin O'Loughlin, a graduate student at Concordia.

The study was picked up by numerous outlets including the National Post, Press-News, Canoe, vancouverdesi.com, Health News Network, Ottawa Citizen, 640 Toronto, Indian Express, as well as radio outlets CJAD and Newstalk 1010.
