All of those sound insanely high. If you take a group of 10 random adult men from the US, roughly four of them have been arrested?
Is a lot of it for underage drinking because that law is so far from lived reality?
I'm betting that this counts field arrests and not just people that are brought to the station, booked, and detained. By that definition, my close friend circle in high school would have been right in line with this numbers.
I, a white cis-man, was technically arrested twice before I was 23 (once for possession of alcohol and once for possession of marijuana) but I've never been brought to the station or read my rights. Both times a field arrest report was filled out and I was issued an appearance ticket with a court date. This was in NY so your experiences with the same crimes might be wildly different.
Does this include things like traffic stops, I wonder?
The questionnaire respondents are requested to leave those out. See my other comment. I dug up some detail.
