Drug use also in modern olympic games, since the early 1900s. Drug testing of athletes began in 1968. World anti-doping agency (wada) provides the complete list of doping agents. Alcohol prepared for human consumption is ethyl alcohol, or ethanol. Alcohol may be used by athletes, but wada prohibits its use in some sports. Alcohol may have negative or positive health effects. About 65-70 percent of american adults drink. About 80 percent of college students drink. The percentage of drinkers increases with higher levels of education. Not only in the u. s. , but also australia, europe, and south america. College students are more likely to binge drink. More than 50 percent of high school students drink. However, overall drinking is on the decline. Standard drink = 0. 5 ounce alcohol (14 grams) 14 grams x 7 calories/gram = 98 calories. Regular beer = about 150 calories per 12 ounces. Light beer = about 64-125 calories per 12 ounces.
