  4. Effects On Drinking Short Term Alcohol Effects: Some alcohol drinking problems, such as driving impairment, interpersonal relationship issues, and negative interactions with medications can manifest themselves after drinking over a relatively short period of time. Long Alcohol Effects Term: Other alcohol drinking problems, conversely, can develop more gradually over time and may become noticeable only after heavy drinking for an extended period of time.

  5. Statistics • During the past month (30 days), 26.4% of underage persons (ages 12-20) used alcohol, • Alcohol use remains extremely widespread among today’s teenagers. Nearly three quarters of students (72%) have consumed alcohol (more than just a few sips) by the end of high school, • Each year, approximately 5000 young people under the age of 21 die as a result of underage drinking • Among underage drinkers (ages 12-20), 30.8% paid for the alcohol the last time they drank – including 8.3% who purchased the alcohol themselves and 22.3% who gave money to someone else to purchase it. Among those who did not pay for the alcohol they drank, 37.4% got it from an unrelated person of legal drinking age; 21.1% received it from a parent, guardian, or other adult family member.

  6. Story Of Supporting Underage Drinking • In Arnold, Pennsylvania woman will spend up to 23 months in jail for hosting an underage drinking party

  7. Conclusion “Underage drinking costs the United States more than $62 billion each year. At this crucial time when research shows that girls are binge drinking with alarming regularity, more must be done to reduce youth access to alcohol, and the appeal of alcohol to our youth.” By: David Jernigan
