Reducing Underage Drinking: A Collective Responsibility
http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=10729&page=R1
The National Academy of Sciences and Institute of Medicine report recognized that alcohol use by young people is extremely dangerous - both to themselves and society at large. Underage alcohol use is associated with traffic fatalities, violence, unsafe sex, suicide, educational failure, and other problem behaviors that diminish the prospects of future success, as well as health risks - and the earlier teens start drinking, the greater the danger. Despite these serious concerns, the media continues to make drinking look attractive to youth, and it remains possible and even easy for teenagers to get access to alcohol.
