Book excerpt: Dying to Drink will shock most parents, who see binge drinking from a distance and are pretty sure that their child isnt doing it or, if they are, that the activity is relatively harmless. Dr. Henry Wechsler, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health, has some unpleasant news for them:Two of five college students binge-drink at least once per week.More students binge-drink than use illicit drugs or smoke cigarettes.Alcohol has been linked to one-half of all campus crime.The alcohol industry spends $1.8 billion a year in advertising, much of it targeted at college students.College students spend more annually on alcohol than on soft drinks, tea, milk, juice, coffee, and schoolbooks combined. Americas colleges are in crisis, and Dying to Drink will bring an understanding to readers not only of the seriousness of the problem but also how to combat it from an informed position.Dr. Wechsler and Bernice Wuethrich present an objective analysis of specific college alcohol policies and their effectiveness in this call to action for parents, colleges, and lawmakers. Dying to Drink is required reading for any parent sending his or her son or daughter off to school.

Book Synopsis Reducing Underage Drinking by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Reducing Underage Drinking written by Institute of Medicine. This book was released on 2004-03-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol use by young people is extremely dangerous - both to themselves and society at large. Underage alcohol use is associated with traffic fatalities, violence, unsafe sex, suicide, educational failure, and other problem behaviors that diminish the prospects of future success, as well as health risks â€" and the earlier teens start drinking, the greater the danger. Despite these serious concerns, the media continues to make drinking look attractive to youth, and it remains possible and even easy for teenagers to get access to alcohol. Why is this dangerous behavior so pervasive? What can be done to prevent it? What will work and who is responsible for making sure it happens? Reducing Underage Drinking addresses these questions and proposes a new way to combat underage alcohol use. It explores the ways in which may different individuals and groups contribute to the problem and how they can be enlisted to prevent it. Reducing Underage Drinking will serve as both a game plan and a call to arms for anyone with an investment in youth health and safety.
