The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of race and sixth-grade alcohol use onset status (yes vs. no) on 8th grade intensity of alcohol use, number of post-high school drinking days, number of drinks per post-high school drinking day, and the development of lifetime alcohol-related problems in a sample of African American and White non-Hispanic males. MANOVA results indicated that African Americans had lower levels of alcohol use in both adolescence and young adulthood, and developed fewer alcohol-related problems. Furthermore, onset of alcohol use before sixth grade appeared to have a stronger effect among African Americans than among their White non-Hispanic peers on 8th grade intensity of alcohol use, the number of drinks consumed per drinking day in young adulthood, and the development of alcohol-related problems in young adulthood
