  • Reducing underage drinking will require community-based efforts to monitor the activities of youth and decrease youth access to alcohol. Recent publications by the Surgeon General and the Institute of Medicine outlined many prevention strategies that will require actions on the national, state, and local levels, such as enforcement of minimum legal drinking age laws, national media campaigns targeting youth and adults, increasing alcohol excise taxes, reducing youth exposure to alcohol advertising, and development of comprehensive community-based programs. These efforts will require continued research and evaluation to determine their success and to improve their effectiveness.
  • An estimated 5,000 people under the age of 21 die as a result of underage alcohol drinking each year. This includes about 1,900 deaths from motor vehicle crashes, 1,600 as a result of homicides, 300 from suicide, and hundreds from other injuries such as falls, burns, and drowning.
  • Because alcoholism has a tendency to run in families, researchers are eager to isolate the genes that may influence a person's vulnerability to this condition; an individual's environment, such as peer pressure, being exposed to alcohol on a regular basis in the home while growing up, and the ease in which they can obtain liquor, also may influence drinking and the development of alcoholism.
  • Recent studies by the World Health Organization have indicated that drinking alcohol can actually reduce the quantity of breast milk, since alcohol affects the release of oxytocin and prolactin, two of the most significant hormones involved in the production of milk.
