Teenagers say that it's easier for them to get prescription drugs than it is for them to buy beer. The information was taken from a recent study conducted by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA).

"Their main source of drugs such as OxyContin, Percocet, Vicodin and Ritalin: 'the medicine cabinet,' says Elizabeth Planet, director of special projects for CASA. 'Another big source of these drugs are their friends.'"

Teenagers still say that cigarettes and marijuana are the easiest substances to get, but for the first time, prescription drugs are easier than beer. Source: USA Today
