- Title
Alcohol education and its discontents.

- Abstract
The article focuses on the need for a new research agenda in studies of young people and alcohol misuse. The traditional agenda offers no new ideas and results in interventions that cannot effectively respond in a dynamic way to the social realities and normative behaviors that frame adolescent alcohol misuse. In order to take account of adolescent alcohol misuse in alcohol education initiatives, it is required to conduct research which asks questions not only about how much alcohol young people regularly drink, or how often, but which also begin to address the meanings these people construct around their own drinking behavior as it occurs within a particular historical, cultural and social context.
