This dataset consolidates data from the 2017, 2019, and 2021 Youth Risk Behavior Surveys (YRBS) focusing specifically on instances of alcohol use and physical altercations among adolescents. It is important to note that this compilation includes only those cases where adolescents reported from alcohol are excluded. The primary objective of this dataset is to facilitate the creation of visual representations; hence, survey weights have been omitted for simplification. Users should be aware that due to the removal of these weights and the selective nature of the data, this dataset is not suitable for conducting inferential statistical analyses
