Teenage drinking is a rapidly growing problem.The with a 20% increase in teenagers that are being admitted to the hospital for accidents that are related to drinking then there was 5 years ago. Despite all the efforts by government to bring a decrease in teen drinking there has not been any changes. These totals amount to 20 teens being admitted for serious drinking conditions.

Retailers offer cheap alcohol and that has contributed to the increase in teenage drinking that is sweeping across the nation. Teenagers have been pushed to drink more on the streets because the clubs have had to crack down on selling to underage people. There is more teenagers drinking on the streets but it is harder for police to be able to track the drinking. The police are doing more to confiscate alcohol of those that are underage. Teenagers are also being educating in their school about the health risks that can happen from drinking to much.

Out of all the age groups teenagers are the most likely ones to binge drink. The government has used advertising towards drinking of teenagers but it has not had any impact so far. These advertisements have shown people drinking so much that they think they are a superhero. These superheroes can climb tall buildings and have no harm done to them.The campaigns have still had only a minor impact on teen drinking.

The teenager who engages in teen drinking is putting their health at risk at a early age. A parent should take steps to prevent this from becoming a even more serious problem. This could lead to the teenager getting into some serious trouble.
