In Taiwan, where the legal drinking age is 18, high schoolers who said they drank nonalcoholic beverages were more likely than those who didn’t to express an intention to drink alcohol.

This article seems to me to be completely reversing correlation and causation. Isn’t it far more likely that young people who are more interested in drinking alcohol are more likely to drink non alcoholic beer etc?
