Since fiscal year 2000, the number of students reported drinking wine coolers has remained relatively constant.  However, as students progress between the sixth and eighth grade, there is a substantial increase in the number of students who are using wine coolers.  Further increases continue as students progress into grades 10 and 12.  By grade 12, approximately 5-6% of the students are drinking wine coolers on a weekly basis.  It is suggested that prevention efforts be targeted between grades six and eight or at a minimum between grades eight and 10.
