The Bulletin épidémiologique hebdomadaire (BEH), published on 07 May by The French Institute for Public Health Surveillance (Institut de veille sanitaire – InVS) focused on alcohol consumption by adolescents between the first and last class of secondary school (in 2010 and 2011).

Alcohol is the psychoactive substance that is experimented with earliest in adolescence, often in a family setting. Consequently, 59% of pupils in the first form of secondary school admitted consuming alcohol, and the frequency increases during secondary school years, until it reaches 83% of pupils in the fifth form, then 93% of pupils in the sixth form.
