The Consequences Of Underage Drinking In Schools

Underage drinking is a problem within the US and has been for some time. No matter how hard many businesses try it still goes on because of the kid’s lucrative ways to obtain it. Many kids use fake IDs or have a person of age purchase it for them. This problem of alcohol abuse is most prominently seen it college. One college it often occurs at is Indiana University in Bloomington. The early habit of drinking alcohol can have many bad effects on one’s body at a young age and causes habits, decrease in grades, and other negative outcomes.

Every year, thousands of minors die from the use of alcohol. Many young adults abuse the drinking age policy. It is put in effect for substantial reasons, which contribute in making the safest environment for all. Drinking underage is not only illegal, but also damages one’s health tremendously. Furthermore, drinking in large amounts is extremely dangerous and can cause detrimental things to occur. There have been numerous attempts to create a law to lower the drinking age, but none have gone through. In contrast to what some people may say, the drinking age should not be lowered because it would decrease maturity, promote poor behavior, and damage reputations.

Every 51 minutes in America, someone is killed in a drunk driving crash. A dangerous issue facing society today is the problem of teen drinking and driving. Currently an approximate of 10,076 people die in drunk driving crashes per year. If positive progress to ceasing this act does not happen, teens will continue to drink and drive putting everybody on the road at risk. Teens who drink and drive put everyone on the road at risk, causing serious crashes that could be preventable.

Underage Drinking on College Campuses Everyday there are young adults drinking underage around the United states on and off college campuses. Even with a national drinking age and laws that govern that drinking age, young adults are still drinking. Many universities across the nation have tried to eliminate underage drinking, by creating a zero alcohol on campus policy. This policy pertains to all students whether of drinking age or not. The universities that create such policies are known to college students as a dry campus. The concept of a dry campus is to eliminate the access to alcohol to those students that are under age, drinking and driving, and binge drinking on campus. Campuses that are dry have the most restrictive alcohol

While alcohol may not be the most dangerous of drugs, it is harmful nonetheless. There have been many research studies done by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism that prove this to be true. Binge drinking is drinking with the purpose of getting drunk, and is the most common form of alcohol consumption while it is also the most dangerous. There have been numerous researches by other organizations and scientists that have demonstrated just how dangerous underage drinking can be. These facts cannot be denied and further the belief that underage drinking is very serious and dangerous. Not only does a person run the risk of being arrested for illegal activity, a person can also be harmed.

Today, alcohol use continues to be regarded by many people, as a normal part of

Unsupervised and driven underground, underage drinking has gained widespread popularity in America’s youth, even claiming victims such as the former President Bush’s 19 year-old daughter. At 18 years of age, a citizen can purchase a gun and tobacco, enlist in the military, get married, vote, and be tried as an adult in court but yet as an “adult” they still do not possess the right to purchase nor consume alcohol legally. The drinking age should be lowered to 18 years of age because adults should be able to make their own decisions, it is safer for the youth in America, and with alcohol education classes instilled in schools at a young age, the younger citizens will be exposed to responsible drinking habits so it reduces the enticement factor

I disagree with the policy stating schools should offer only nutritious drinks such as white milk, water, natural fruit juice. I disagree with this policy because some students might be allergic to some of the fruit that is in natural fruit juice. Students might not like white milk, water, and natural fruit juice. Students also need to have the right to choose what they want to drink. I think schools offer more than just nutritious drinks such as white milk, water, and natural fruit juice. I think schools should offer soda, gatorade, powerade, different flavors of milk, and flavored water also. Drinks like gatorade, powerade, and water can help regain energy. When students are allowed to choose their own drinks the school will have to keep

It is recognized that more students are smoking before school and during their lunch periods. A police report said that, “…school officials call him and he talks to the kids, but it is a little more difficult now to cite them if they aren't caught in the act. They can say that they were around an adult medical marijuana user and weren't smoking themselves” (Lofholm). Without changing Amendment 64 to add regulations to strongly discourage access and use by our youth things will only get worse. Parents and other legal adult users need to be educated about the increased marijuana incidents on school grounds, as well as the harms of marijuana on the young developing brain.

This flyer was created with young students in mind, but more specifically high school level students. The flyer is arguing against underaged drinking and that if you even just take a sip of alcohol, you then will instantly become addicted and will not attend college, due to your addiction. I decided to use the slippery slope logical fallacy for my flyer. A slippery slope fallacy is where someone may do something or an event will happen and the result of that is a drastic leap, most likely the worst case that could happen, and it has no logical reasoning behind it and leaves out all other elements in between.

Is being 6 feet under a choice that is made or done? Throughout the 21st century underage drinking and teen drivers have made a bad mix throughout the U.S. Some teens say that underage drinking and driving as a teen is not a problem to themselves or others, however this issue affects others and themselves in multiple ways. The definition of humanity is basically everyone of all races and cultures. Though with the multiple effects on the body, damage on society and the consequences of alcohol not so many teens have changed their choices on driving under the influence.

Another way to combat the underage drinking and underage drinking party problem is to know where the party areas are. The officers know the party areas, and who is usually involved in the setup. The school resource officers and police explorers are good eyes and ears for the department, making it much easier to find out when and where a party would be and stop the party. All of these things can help reduce the rates of underage drinking.

          Alcohol is the most widely used drug among youth. It causes serious and potentially life-threatening problems for this population. Research indicates that drinking is associated with risk-taking and sensation-seeking behavior among adolescents. Alcohol has disinhibiting effects that may increase the likelihood of unsafe activities.In 1997, 21 percent of the young drivers 15 to 20 years old who were killed in crashes were intoxicated. For young drivers, alcohol involvement is higher among males than among females. In 1997, 25 percent of the young male drivers involved in fatal crashes had been drinking at the time of the crash, compared with 12 percent of the young female drivers

Anyone who is below eighteen years of age is considered as underage and laws in many countries prohibit such a person from consuming alcohol. Alcohol happens to be the most commonly abused drug not only among the youth but also among adults.

The official policy of MSU states that eating or drinking in the classrooms is prohibited. However, in my opinion, drinking should always be allowed and sometimes eating should also be permitted. In this essay, first I’d like to discuss why I think sometimes eating is beneficial, second I’ll examine how drinking affects our efficiency of studying, and then I’m going to mention the negative impact of this policy.
