Youth alcohol usage

preface
Alcohol consumption by young people has a profound effect on our nation, our communities, our families, and our children. Alcohol use by teens is related to traffic crashes, crime, teenage pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, suicides, drownings, and poor performance in school.
Teenage drinking also has a direct economic effect on our communities; the costs of law enforcement, health care, education, treatment, and other services increase as resources are diverted to attend to the painful and often tragic consequences of teenage drinking.
What can be done? In recent years many organizations have attempted to identify innovative and effective methods to reduce underage drinking. Some approaches have focused on educating young people about the dangers of drinking and equipping them with the knowledge and skills to make responsible choices. Other approaches have tried to strengthen the relationships young people have with family, peers, teachers and others. Still others have focused on the array of adult institutions that manufacture, distribute, sell, provide, market, promote, and regulate alcohol.
No single approach will entirely solve the problem. But each approach, wisely implemented and used in combination with other promising strategies, may reduce the scope of the problem and limit the damage to America’s next generation. Current research shows that effective and regular compliance checks helps decrease alcohol sales to minors; helps reduce underage drinking; helps reduce traffic crashes, violence, and other health problems associated with alcohol; and helps build healthier and safer communities.
This manual is designed for public officials, law enforcement officers, and alcohol-regulation agents as a practical guide for

    Lowering the Drinking Age

    The United States drinking age throughout all 50 states has been the same since 1984 when a law was put in place by the U.S. Congress punishing all states who did not abide by the legal age limit of 21. Since this law was put into place, it has become one of the most widely studied laws in history. While there are many arguments and new bills being created to reduce this age, especially among college universities, all have failed to become law. Over half of adults agree that lowering the drinking age would increase binge drinking among teens, and 72% believe that it would make alcohol more accessible to kids as well. Over 50 scientific studies have found that the 21-law saves lives. (Dean-Mooney 1)…

    Lowering the Drinking Age

    “Nearly 10 million youths, ages 12 to 20, in this country report they have consumed alcohol in the past 30 days.” (“City Council”) Teens use alcohol for a numerous amount of reasons, ranging from celebration to stress to boredom and underage drinking has now become a hobby done behind closed doors. The legal limit today in the United states has been 21 since the 1984, requiring all states to raise the minimum age for purchase and possession of alcohol to 21, but that is not stopping teens from underage drinking. The Minimum Legal Drinking Age is largely ineffective because teens are going to drink whether it is legal or not. The minimum drinking age limit should be lowered to 18 because 18 year olds are adults, teens would drink in a more controlled manner, and there would be less unsafe incidents.…

    75% of Americans oppose the thought of lowering the age to 18, however, it still leaves 25% of those who would favor it (Jones, 2014, para. 12). Even though some young adults believe lowering the minimum legal drinking age will cause no harm, they have not fully considered the consequences alcohol has on the body, economy, and society, therefore, maintaining the age of 21 is a priority because of its proven positive contribution to America’s youth. To support the 21 age minimum, the young adults of America need to consider their actions when being around alcohol and continue to educate themselves and others of the dangers involved with alcoholic substances. Parents of adolescents should also be encouraged to become involved with their teens drinking and monitor any illegal alcohol purchases and consumptions. Increase of law enforcement would be desirable, but the expenses it requires in unfavorable, therefore, it is up to the youth of America to support the 21 minimum…

According to statistics from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, teens become intoxicated twice as fast as adults. Because the teens get drunk faster they are less likely to know when to stop and to go past their limit, causing harm to themselves and others.…

    Minimum Legal Drinking Age

    According to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, “almost 80% of high school students have tried alcohol” (Dowshen). These students are more likely to show serious drinking problems later in life during middle age and adulthood. People are debating that the minimum legal drinking age of 21 years is not working to stop youths from drinking alcohol. Lowering the drinking age to 18 will make alcohol more available to those that are younger to purchase and consume. Even though 18 is the legal age of adulthood, the minimum legal drinking age should remain at 21 because the 18-year-old adult body is not done maturing, it reduces alcohol-related fatalities, and will decrease risky behavior.…
