Although drinking by persons under the age of 21 is illegal, people aged 12 to 20 years drink 11% of all alcohol consumed in the United States. More than 90% of this alcohol is consumed in the form of binge drinks. On average, underage drinkers consume more drinks per drinking occasion than adult drinkers.
According to a current report from the U.S. Task Force on Community Preventive Services, there is little evidence that designated programs actually reduce the rate of drunk driving and alcohol-related crashes, as few designated drivers actually completely abstain from drinking. The report concluded that in a great many instances, the least-intoxicated person is chosen to be the driver, which defeats the purpose of the program.
According to research by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), the brain continues to develop into the early to mid 20's; thus exposing the brain to alcohol during that period may impair brain development.
The risk of a hemorrhagic stroke is up to three times more likely among alcoholics than in people that do not drink.
