Underage Drinking Prevention
Underage drinking is a problem that touches the lives of many people. Parents, educators, law enforcement, members of the community and youth are all affected by underage drinking. Nearly 4 out of 5 high school students have consumed alcohol by their senior year. Car crashes, unplanned pregnancies, violence, alcohol dependency, and serious health issues are just a few of the consequences of underage drinking. [ http://oasas.state.ny.us/ud/index.cfm ]
