MAKE A DIFFERENCE –
The risks associated with underage drinking are sobering. Parental influence is the most important factor in keeping your children safe. The risks
• Underage alcohol use kills more young people than all illegal drugs combined.
• High school binge drinking is a major predictor of binge drinking in college and later in life.
• More than 40 percent of individuals who start drinking before the age of 13 will develop alcohol abuse or alcohol dependence at some point in their lives.
• High school students who use alcohol or other substances are five times more likely than other students to drop out of school or to believe that earning good grades is not important.
The solution: Parents
• 74% of kids (8-17) said their parents are the leading influence on their decisions about drinking.
• Doing interventions as a family can reduce underage drinking and drunkenness by 30-60%.
• When parents and kids are better connected, kids are less likely to drink or use other drugs.
