Why Be Concerned With Underage Alcohol Use
Alcohol is the drug of choice among America’s adolescents, used by more young people than tobacco or illicit drugs. Underage alcohol consumption is a major societal problem with enormous health and safety consequences. For the most part, the number of adolescents who use alcohol is underestimated. But underage alcohol use is not inevitable, and families, communities, and schools are not powerless to stop it. Help make underage drinking prevention a priority in your community. We owe our children nothing less. |
