Did you know?

Teens who start drinking at ages 15 or 16 are six times more likely to become alcohol dependent than adults who started drinking after age 21.

1 in 4 car crashes with teenagers involve an underage drunk driver

Teen drinking kills about 4,300 people each year  – more than all illegal drugs combined.

One-third of all teen deaths involving alcohol are a result of underage drinking.

Many youth do not believe cannabis impairs driving ability

What can you do?

– Share real stories involving underage drinking/impaired driving.

-Kristin Mallory’s Story of being involved in a drunk driving crash in Chesterfield. Made by Malory’s Movement Against Drunk Driving, YOVASO and the VA State Police ( 9:30 minutes long)

-MADD Volunteer Debbie Sausville tells the story of her 16 yr old daughter Lauren who died in an impaired driving crash. (19:30 minutes long)

– Host a class room discussion where students debate about underage drinking.

– Set up role play scenarios with real life situations that teens can be or have been in.

– Incorporate a link to the teen booklet and/or parent handbook(s) in an email distribution list of parents or students in conjunction with your activities.
