Drinking too much can harm your health. Excessive alcohol use led to approximately 88,000 deaths and 2.5 million years of potential life lost (YPLL) each year in the United States from 2006 – 2010, shortening the lives of those who died by an average of 30 years

Reducing underage drinking will require community-based efforts to monitor the activities of youth and decrease youth access to alcohol.
