Alcohol use by young people is extremely dangerous - both to themselves and society at large. Underage alcohol use is associated with traffic fatalities, violence, unsafe sex, suicide, educational failure, and other problem behaviors that diminish the prospects of future success, as well as health risks â€" and the earlier teens start drinking, the greater the danger. Despite these serious concerns, the media continues to make drinking look attractive to youth, and it remains possible and even easy for teenagers to get access to alcohol. Why is this dangerous behavior so pervasive? What can be done to prevent it? What will work and who is responsible for making sure it happens? Reducing Underage Drinking addresses these questions and proposes a new way to combat underage alcohol use. It explores the ways in which may different individuals and groups contribute to the problem and how they can be enlisted to prevent it. Reducing Underage Drinking will serve as both a game plan and a call to arms for anyone with an investment in youth health and safety.

Early onset of Drinking is a major public health concern facing countries. Early initiation is considered as a marker of alcohol dependence and other substance abuse in later years of life. Heavy episodic alcohol use (Binge drinking) in adolescence diminishes their educational attainment by affecting brain structure, brain functioning, and neuropsychological performance. Beyond health consequences, the harmful use of alcohol brings significant social and economic losses to individuals and society at large. The empirical results obtained in our study suggest that binge pattern of drinking and the spirits contents in the alcoholic beverage exert a positive and significant influence on Alcohol-Attributable Fractions. Factors that interfere with the evidence-based prevention strategies include corporate lobbying, lack of political will, and weak enforcement of public regulations. There is a need for countries to revisit their alcohol control policies and assess the gap between the evidence-based prevention science and implementation in practice.

Anxiety about "alcohol and youth" has been excited by shocking events and reports. Events are exemplified by multiple deaths of adolescents in automobile crashes after drinking parties. Reports are exemplified by the conclusion, from a national survey, that more than one fourth of youngsters aged 13 to 18 are already problem drinkers. Response provoked by these events and reports has taken the form of proposed or enacted legislation in several states to raise the so-called legal drinking age from 18 to 19, or 20, or 21. The confusion around the alcohol-and-youth problem is manifest in the fact that no one can be sure that raising the legal drinking age will make any difference. The legislation may be tilting at windmills; and it is doubtful even that the windmills exist. (But the legislative windmills are whirling.) The confusion is clearly manifest in the fact that the legal drinking-age legislation does not deal with a drinking age.
