4 out of 10 people who start drinking alcohol before the age of 15 become alcoholics.

The claim that 4 out of 10 individuals who begin drinking alcohol before age 15 develop alcoholism lacks direct statistical evidence in the given sources. While evidence suggests underage drinking can lead to alcohol use disorder and serious consequences, no specific statistic matching the claim was found. This reduces the confidence in the claim's accuracy. More comprehensive and specific studies are needed to support or refute this statistical assertion.
