Underage Drinking in the U.S.
Nationally, approximately 10% of 9- to 10-year-olds have started drinking. Nearly one-third of youth begin drinking before age 13.(Source: U.S. Surgeon General)
Underage drinkers are responsible for 16% of all alcohol consumed in the U.S.(Source: Journal of the American Medical Association)
![Page 17: 2007 ICSD Student Life and Culture Survey Community Coalition for Healthy Youth coordinated by Tompkins County Youth Services Department 320 W. State St.,](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070401/56649f1b5503460f94c30480/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Underage Drinking and Adolescent Development
Underage drinking can cause alterations in the structure and function of the developing brain. New research indicates that the developing adolescent brain may be particularly susceptible to long-term consequences from alcohol use.
Some studies find that adolescents who drink heavily may experience adverse effects that disrupt normal growth and affect liver, bone, and endocrine development.
