"After we adjusted for everything: age, gender, rebelliousness and sensation-seeking, the kids who are allowed to watch R-rated movies are about three and a half times more likely to initiate drinking than kids who said they were never allowed to watch R-rated movies by their parents," Tanski said. The researchers conducted surveys at northern New England schools for students from fifth to eighth grade in 1999, according to Sargent.
