Government statistics reported by SAMSHA state that during 2004, almost 50% of emergency room visits related to patients that were between the ages of 12 to 20 years old involved alcohol abuse.
Adolescents who consume alcohol are more likely to engage in risky sexual activities, like having sex with someone they don't know or failing to use birth control.
An alcoholic "drink" is generally defined as a 12 oz. beer or wine cooler, a 5 oz. glass of wine, or 1.5 oz. of 80 proof spirits (straight or in a mixed drink).
Underage drinking can harm the growing brain. Today we know that the brain continues to develop from birth through the adolescent years and into the mid 20s.
