Youth Speakers On Underage Drinking: Expert Solutions For High Schools, Colleges & Universities

Recognizing the Challenge

Underage drinking is a significant concern in many communities. It’s not just about breaking the law; it’s about the real, lasting impacts on young lives. Studies indicate that alcohol is the most commonly used substance among teenagers in the United States. This prevalence leads to a host of challenges, from academic difficulties to increased risk of harmful and illegal behavior. Binge drinking, defined as consuming a large quantity of alcohol in a short period, amplifies these risks. For teenagers, whose brains are still developing, the impact can be particularly severe.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 29% of high school students drank alcohol in the past 30 days, and 14% binge drank. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) highlights that about 4.2 million young people reported engaging in binge drinking at least once in the past month. Research indicates that young individuals who start drinking before age 15 are four times more likely to develop alcohol dependence later in life compared to those who start drinking at or after age 21.
