What Is Underage Drinking?

Simply put, underage drinking is the use of alcohol by a person under the age of 21, the minimum legal drinking age. With few exceptions, such as the use of alcohol as part of a religious ceremony, underage drinking is against the law. Underage drinking is also dangerous; it can have a negative effect on the mind and body of an adolescent in ways many people don't realize.

Yet, underage drinking persists and today, is a serious problem deeply embedded in American culture. It is time to change that. Tacit acceptance of underage drinking as a rite of passage must become unacceptable. It will take repeated work over time in homes and schools, on campuses, and in policy arenas. Prevention of underage drinking must become a priority-an ongoing project for parents, teachers, and other concerned adults-that begins before puberty and continues throughout adolescence.
