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. Why is this dangerous behavior so pervasive?
What can be done to prevent it? What will work and who is
responsible for making sure it happens? Reducing Underage Drinking
addresses these questions and proposes a new way to combat underage
alcohol use. It explores the ways in which may different
individuals and groups contribute to the problem and how they can
be enlisted to prevent it. Reducing Underage Drinking will serve as
both a game plan and a call to arms for anyone with an investment
in youth health and safety. Table of Contents Front Matter
