Resources for Parents
As a parent, you have a strong influence over whether your child decides to drink or not. Stay informed about the dangers of underage drinking, and find opportunities to discuss the dangers of alcohol with your son/daughter. Studies show that a person who starts drinking before age 15 is four times more likely to develop alcoholism than someone who delays drinking until age 21.
Each year, about 5,000 people under the age of 21 die as a result of underage drinking.
Thank you for not looking the other way and for not serving young people under the age of 21. Please Don’t Serve Teens.

Alcohol is the most commonly used substance of abuse among young people in America, and drinking when you’re underage puts your health and safety at risk.
