The Truth About Underage Drinking
First, the good news. Efforts to stop underage drinking are having a positive impact. Overall, fewer young people are consuming alcohol today than in previous years.
However, there’s still plenty of work to be done. Underage drinking remains too common across all age groups. That’s why it’s essential to start the conversation and then keep it going with anyone in your life who is under 21.
Preventing Underage Drinking Is A Job for Everyone
Preventing underage drinking is important work that requires commitment from the entire North Carolina community. Through the Talk it Out NC campaign, we communicate the dangers of underage and teen drinking, and provide tools and resources that help coaches, educators, faith leaders, and the rest of our NC parenting community discuss the topic with young people they influence.
