Underage drinking is an epidemic

According to Newsweek: "People who drink before they're 15 are four times as likely to be alcohol-dependent or have alcohol problems when they're adults. Even though drinking under the age of 21 is illegal in all 50 states, 41 percent of ninth graders reported drinking in the past month, according to National Institutes of Health literature." Underage drinking is a serious problem. If you think your pre-teen or teen is hitting the bottle, don’t sweep it under the rug. It's not a rite of passage; it's a prescription for disaster.
