Utah continues to have the lowest underage drinking rate in the country. In 2013, only 7 percent of Utah students in sixth through 12th grades had reported using alcohol in the past 30 days, according to statistics from the Parents Empowered annual report. Among 12th-graders, the age group most likely to drink, 30-day alcohol use was 14 percent. The national average is three times that: 41.5 percent among high school seniors.
