another reason to reduce the risk of alcohol poisoning. It is very dangerous, as some underage drinkers dont know when to stop. It can be life threatening. So lives may be saved.
it will reduce under-age drinking
1) Its illegal
2) Drinking can also cause pre-mature death. Every year hundreds of drownings and fires occur because of drinking. Also, teens have a statistically high rate of alcohol poisonings.
Teenage drinking:
The consequences of underage drinking are heartbreaking:
? Every day, three teens die from drinking and driving.
? At least six more youths under 21 die each day in non-driving alcohol-related cases, such as homicide, suicide and drowning.
? More than 70,000 college students are victims of alcohol-related sexual assault or date rape each year.
? Recent studies have found that heavy exposure to alcohol may interfere with adolescent brain development, causing loss of memory and other skills.
Currently, alcohol use among young people under 21 is the leading drug problem in the U.S. According to the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth at Georgetown University:
? More youths in the U.S. drink alcohol than smoke tobacco or marijuana, making it the drug most used by young Americans.
? Every day, 5,400 young people under 16 take their first drink of alcohol.
? In 2005, one out of six eighth-graders, one in three tenth-graders, and nearly one out of two twelfth-graders were current drinkers.
? In 2004, more than 7 million youths ages 12 to 20 reported binge drinking, which is defined as “having five or more drinks on at least one occasion in the past 30 days.”
hope these help. good luck.
