Be a Parent
 Not a Pal
100% of all alcohol consumed by minors came
from an adult.

Alcohol is the number one drug used by youth.

In Michigan, it is estimated that underage alcohol
use costs $2 billion.

Approximately one in four parents have allowed
their own child to drink under their supervision.

Approximately one in twelve parents have allowed
someone else’s child to drink under their
supervision.
Underage Drinking:

  Myth and Fact
Myth: All teenagers will drink at some point, no
matter how hard we try to stop them.


Fact: Although underage drinking is a serious
problem, 81 percent of adolescents ages 12 to 17 have
chosen not to drink in the past year.
Myth: My son or daughter knows everything
about drinking, so we don’t need to talk about it.

Fact: Many teenagers have dangerous
misconceptions about alcohol--for example,
they don’t realize that wine coolers have the
same alcohol content as a shot of distilled
spirits, or they think they can sober up by
drinking coffee or getting fresh air.
Myth: What parents say or do won’t make any
difference; teenagers only listen to their friends.

Fact: Parents can be very influential. A study of
adolescents and their families conducted by the
Research Institute on Addictions revealed that both
adolescent girls and adolescent boys whose parents
supervise their friendships and activities are less likely
to engage in problem behaviors, including drinking, and
that this was true regardless of race or income level.
Myth: He only drinks beer. It’s a phase--he’ll get over
it, just like I did.

Fact: Adolescents who begin drinking before age 15
or younger are four times more likely to develop
problems with alcohol use and dependence than those
who begin drinking at age 21 or older. Many engage in
binge drinking, which is drinking five or more drinks
on one occasion. Some people mistakenly believe that
beer and wine are light in alcohol content; in fact, they
have the same alcohol content.
What is a Drink?
A standard drink is 12
grams of alcohol,
which is equal to:
One 12-ounce bottle of
beer
One 12-ounce wine cooler
One 5-ounce glass of wine
1.5 ounces of 80-proof
distilled spirits
Myth:      It’s okay for young people to drink, just as
long as they don’t drive. The worst that can happen is
they’ll wake up with a terrible hangover.

Fact:     Wrong: The worse thing that can happen is
that they won’t wake up at all. A person can drink
enough to kill him or herself in a couple of hours by
drinking a large amount of alcohol quickly. When the
blood alcohol content reaches a certain concentration,
heart rate and respiration can shut down. Drinking also
increases the risk of injury from car crashes, falls,
burns, drowning, and suicide, as well as the chance that
a young person will commit a crime or become a victim
of crime.
Myth: One drink does not affect driving.

Fact: Youthful age has been cited as one of the most
important variables related to crash risk. Young drivers
are inexperienced not only in driving but also in
drinking and in combining the two activities. According
to one study, each 0.02-percent increase in blood
alcohol content (BAC) above 0.00 percent places 16- to
20-year-old drivers at greater risk for a crash than older
drivers. Roadside surveys indicate that young people are
less likely than adults to drive after drinking; however,
especially at low and moderate BAC’s, their crash rates
are substantially higher than those of other groups.
Myth: Alcohol is not such a big deal, compared with
illicit drugs.


Fact: Alcohol is a factor in the three leading causes of
deaths among 14- and 15- year-olds: unintentional
injuries, homicides, and suicides.
THE GOOD NEWS
Teens continue to list their parents as a key source of
information regarding risky behavior, including
underage drinking.

Most teens list “at home” or “at a friend’s house” as the
most common place they use alcohol. These are two
places where adults, particularly parents, have a great
deal of control. If we know where they are using
alcohol, we can stop the behavior.
Most teens list weekends as the most common time
they use alcohol. This gives adults, particularly parents,
an opportunity to intervene with teen’s use of alcohol.
If we know when they are drinking, we can stop the
behavior.

The percent of teens who drink alcohol has gone down
in the last 25 years.


         We are making a difference!
The Facts Are Clear:
Using alcohol during the developmental years of
adolescence is dangerous. With increased chances for
addiction later in life, increased chances of risky
behavior, decreased school performance, increased
chances for violence, unplanned and risky sexual
activity, legal issues, and a good chance to generally
make a fool out of themselves, teens would be better
off not using alcohol. It is our job, as adults, to help
them make that choice easier.
Underage drinking is not a minor problem.
 Helping end it is everybody’s business.

  • 28. Be a Parent Not a Pal
  • 29. 100% of all alcohol consumed by minors came from an adult. Alcohol is the number one drug used by youth. In Michigan, it is estimated that underage alcohol use costs $2 billion. Approximately one in four parents have allowed their own child to drink under their supervision. Approximately one in twelve parents have allowed someone else’s child to drink under their supervision.
  • 30. Underage Drinking: Myth and Fact
  • 31. Myth: All teenagers will drink at some point, no matter how hard we try to stop them. Fact: Although underage drinking is a serious problem, 81 percent of adolescents ages 12 to 17 have chosen not to drink in the past year.
  • 32. Myth: My son or daughter knows everything about drinking, so we don’t need to talk about it. Fact: Many teenagers have dangerous misconceptions about alcohol--for example, they don’t realize that wine coolers have the same alcohol content as a shot of distilled spirits, or they think they can sober up by drinking coffee or getting fresh air.
  • 33. Myth: What parents say or do won’t make any difference; teenagers only listen to their friends. Fact: Parents can be very influential. A study of adolescents and their families conducted by the Research Institute on Addictions revealed that both adolescent girls and adolescent boys whose parents supervise their friendships and activities are less likely to engage in problem behaviors, including drinking, and that this was true regardless of race or income level.
  • 34. Myth: He only drinks beer. It’s a phase--he’ll get over it, just like I did. Fact: Adolescents who begin drinking before age 15 or younger are four times more likely to develop problems with alcohol use and dependence than those who begin drinking at age 21 or older. Many engage in binge drinking, which is drinking five or more drinks on one occasion. Some people mistakenly believe that beer and wine are light in alcohol content; in fact, they have the same alcohol content.
  • 35. What is a Drink? A standard drink is 12 grams of alcohol, which is equal to: One 12-ounce bottle of beer One 12-ounce wine cooler One 5-ounce glass of wine 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits
  • 36. Myth: It’s okay for young people to drink, just as long as they don’t drive. The worst that can happen is they’ll wake up with a terrible hangover. Fact: Wrong: The worse thing that can happen is that they won’t wake up at all. A person can drink enough to kill him or herself in a couple of hours by drinking a large amount of alcohol quickly. When the blood alcohol content reaches a certain concentration, heart rate and respiration can shut down. Drinking also increases the risk of injury from car crashes, falls, burns, drowning, and suicide, as well as the chance that a young person will commit a crime or become a victim of crime.
  • 37. Myth: One drink does not affect driving. Fact: Youthful age has been cited as one of the most important variables related to crash risk. Young drivers are inexperienced not only in driving but also in drinking and in combining the two activities. According to one study, each 0.02-percent increase in blood alcohol content (BAC) above 0.00 percent places 16- to 20-year-old drivers at greater risk for a crash than older drivers. Roadside surveys indicate that young people are less likely than adults to drive after drinking; however, especially at low and moderate BAC’s, their crash rates are substantially higher than those of other groups.
  • 38. Myth: Alcohol is not such a big deal, compared with illicit drugs. Fact: Alcohol is a factor in the three leading causes of deaths among 14- and 15- year-olds: unintentional injuries, homicides, and suicides.
  • 39. THE GOOD NEWS Teens continue to list their parents as a key source of information regarding risky behavior, including underage drinking. Most teens list “at home” or “at a friend’s house” as the most common place they use alcohol. These are two places where adults, particularly parents, have a great deal of control. If we know where they are using alcohol, we can stop the behavior.
  • 40. Most teens list weekends as the most common time they use alcohol. This gives adults, particularly parents, an opportunity to intervene with teen’s use of alcohol. If we know when they are drinking, we can stop the behavior. The percent of teens who drink alcohol has gone down in the last 25 years. We are making a difference!
  • 41. The Facts Are Clear: Using alcohol during the developmental years of adolescence is dangerous. With increased chances for addiction later in life, increased chances of risky behavior, decreased school performance, increased chances for violence, unplanned and risky sexual activity, legal issues, and a good chance to generally make a fool out of themselves, teens would be better off not using alcohol. It is our job, as adults, to help them make that choice easier.
  • 42. Underage drinking is not a minor problem. Helping end it is everybody’s business.
