Underage alcohol use is a sweeping problem with serious health and safety repercussions for the Nation. A substantial number of young people begin drinking before the age of 13, which frequently results in alcohol abuse or dependence. The highest prevalence of alcohol dependence is among people ages 18-20. The conclusion being that the impetus is on parents and people in the community to educate children about the dangers of underage drinking and the consequences that can result. If there is a good prevention and education program is in place, then problems with alcohol can be avoided down the line. However, if it is already too late and you know a young person who is struggling with an alcohol problem then the best thing you could do is assist this person in getting the help they need to resolve their problem.
