Discussion of the problem of teenage drinking and driving, made in cooperation with the Yale Center of Alcohol Studies. 3 college men, one doing no drinking, one drinking beer and one drinking heavily are studied. Results are compared to effects of equivalent amounts in rats. Depicts an accidents resulting from only casual drinking before driving. Shows rat experiments, teenagers drinking in bar and dancing, and alludes to death of one couple because of driving while intoxicated. Producer: Centron Corporation. Young drivers are a high-risk group, partially because they are young and just learning the rules, but that is not the only reason. Young drivers often think they are invincible; that the crashes caused by teenage drinking and driving reported on the news will never happen to them. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the youngest drivers are less likely to drive after drinking, but are more likely to crash when they do, because of inexperience with both alcohol and driving and the combination of the two. In 2003, 27 percent of 16-20-year-old passenger vehicle drivers fatally injured in crashes had high BACs (0.08 percent or more). The percentage of high BACs was much lower among females (13 percent) than among males (33 percent), and also was lower among 16-17-year-old drivers (16 percent) than among 18-19-year-old (30 percent) or 20-year-old (35 percent) drivers. In many high schools, students come face to face with the effects of teenage drinking and driving, with presentations from groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), or Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD). These education programs help to raise awareness. The federal government has taken steps in the past decade to bring attention to the issue, and there are consequences for young drivers charged with drinking and driving. In many states, a teenager will lose their license for a period of a year or longer if they are convicted of driving while intoxicated. On November 28, 1995, President Clinton signed legislation that included a provision forcing states to adopt and enforce a “zero tolerance” policy against teenage drinking and driving. Since that legislation’s inception, “zero tolerance” policies have been criticized, saying that such policies are unfair because they may unfairly punish an innocent teenager who may be driving an intoxicated friend home or because they are in the same area as a teen who has been drinking. It seems that zero tolerance policies may not be all bad however. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, studies of zero tolerance laws indicate they reduce crashes in [the 13-19] age group. A study of 12 states passing zero tolerance laws reported a 20 percent reduction in the proportion of fatal crashes that were single-vehicle nighttime events (crashes likely to involve alcohol impairment) among drivers ages 15-20. Alcohol and a teenage driver is a very dangerous combination, one that may be avoided through parental involvement and education.

First of all…find out the source of the beer. Then have a nice little talk with those persons and tell them the next time they get your son beer…the police will know their name and address shortly thereafter.

What do you think when you see 15-17 year olds drinking/ passed out with alcohol pictures on facebook? thanks

Not too bright

I mean, I understand that people worry.
But what if you have a reasonable amount?
What if everything stays under control?
I honestly don’t see a problem.

2 questions.

Are you against it?
and
why? [If yes]

it is against the law.

im a freshman in highschool and i know lots of ppl that have parties with alcohol at my school. how do they get the alcohol if they’re underage? because this guy in my grade got a keg for a party, and i dont understand how he got it if he was 15. and how do they get home without they’re parents noticing? i mean these are suburban kids…theyre parents are probably waiting for them when they get home. im not planning on doing any of this but am just curious how it all works.

He had someone else get it for him or that even the parents agreed to it

Most people in my grade drink alcohol.I don’t get.Even girls who go to Young Life(Christian Youth Group).

I think teens love to drink for a few reasons:

1.) It’s social. Teens badly need to fit in with their peers.
2.) It’s forbidden. Teens love to break rules because it makes them feel cool and look cool.
3.) It’s the best way to hook up with somebody when you have two hormone crazy kids who are too shy when they’re sober.
