underage drinking

Underage alcohol use is more likely to kill young people than all other illegal drugs combined.* Kids are also beginning to abuse alcohol ealier than you might think: Nearly 20% of eighth graders have   more...reported being drunk, according to a survey conducted by the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

These young people are not only putting themselves in danger now, they are also affecting their futures. Research shows that children who first use alcohol before age 15 are five times more likely to have alcohol problems than those who start drinking after 21.

Despite the prevalence of underage drinking, and the potential consequences, research shows that parents generally underestimate the extent to which their teen children use alcohol and even consider it inevitable.

The campaign launched in November 2005 and seeks to raise awareness and encourage parents to talk to their children early and often about the dangers of underage drinking.

The PSAs direct parents to visit a new website, www.stopalcoholabuse.gov, or call 1-800-729-6686 to learn more about the consequences of underage drinking and for tips on talking with their kids about alcohol.  less

Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and Nationwide Insurance launched “The Power of Parents, It's Your Influence by MADD™” today to give parents of high school students the communication tools they need   more...to stop teen alcohol use. The program features resources at thepowerofparents.org. A GfK Roper Youth Report showed 74% of kids (age 8-17) said their parents are the leading influence on their decisions about drinking. Data also shows that a zero tolerance message from parents to teens is the most effective in deterring underage drinking and it also supports the lifesaving 21 drinking age law, which is in all 50 states.

www.catherinebath.com/id10.html The current debate initiated by college presidents about whether or not the legal drinking age should stay at 21 misses the point. The age is NOT the key issue.
