Teen drinking is very bad but it appears rap is juicing up minors to grab a swig of their favorite artist’s drink of choice. According to a new study conducted by researchers at Dartmouth College, teens are more likely to binge drink after listening to rap, Daily Mail reports.

The study claims that teens who listen to an average of 2.5 hours of rap are exposed to about eight different alcohol brands.

“Every year, the average adolescent is exposed to about 3,000 references to alcohol brands while listening to music,” said lead author and associate professor of medicine at Pittsburgh University Brian Primack.

Some of the offending rappers listed in the study are Jay Z and Puff Daddy.
