CDC – safer,
healthier people.
Underage drinking contributes to the deaths of five thousand teenagers in
the
United States each year. In fact, alcohol contributes to the leading causes
of teen
deaths: homicide, suicide, and unintentional injuries. There is a correlation
between the amount of exposure to alcohol advertising and underage drinking.
A
recent Georgetown University study that reviewed alcohol advertising, suggests
that parents should assume their teens are exposed to alcohol ads, both print
and television. Parents should make it a point to talk to their teenagers
regularly
about the dangers of drinking.
