Alcohol is the most popular substance among teens and young adults, and it poses substantial risks for their health and safety. This Alcohol Awareness Month, we introduce new resources to help you address youth drinking. 

The good news is the number of teens drinking has dropped over the past few decades. However, when we consider the consequences of youth alcohol use — driving under the influence, accidents and alcohol poisoning, as well as damage to the developing brain or addiction — it’s essential to stay up to date and take action to protect young people. 

This April, we’ll focus on youth drinking, sharing helpful and practical information. Find our new guides for parents, educators and health care professionals below, and follow us on social media to stay connected throughout the month.
