Underage Drinking: Know The Facts, Know The Risks

This no-nonsense program lays out the straight facts about underage drinking. Alcohol abuse is responsible for 100,000 deaths in the U.S. each year—deaths resulting from drunken driving, alcohol poisoning, fetal alcohol syndrome, cirrhosis, and even from alcohol-related cancers (esophageal, liver, colon). The video makes it clear that teens should adopt a no-use policy towards this dangerous and addictive drug. The teacher’s resource book provides compelling lessons and activities on alcohol-related topics such as binge drinking, addiction, alcohol overdose, and more. ©2003, CC
