US Parents Risk Jail When Their Teens Drink at Parties

inking Age Act was passed in 1984.

Federal dollars can be withheld from states that allow the purchase of alcohol to anyone under the age of 21. Each year, around 5,000 people under 21 die as a result of underage drinking, including 1,900 in traffic accidents and 1,600 in homicides, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

A Justice Department study in 2003 found a greater percentage of young people aged 15 to 16 from nearly all European countries reported drinking in the past 30 days than in the United States, especially in Denmark, Germany, Britain and Netherlands. Other studies have found 7.7 percent of US children and youths aged 12-20 were dependent on alcohol, and 47 percent of high school graduates admitted to occasional drinking.
