Students are told the sale of alcohol beverages to minors is unlawful, yet neighborhood liquor stores often fail to ask for proof-of-age identification.
Students go to parties where beer is flowing freely and no one questions their age before they step up to the keg.
Students are warned that alcohol can affect their judgment and coordination and is in fact a drug, but advertising makes alcoholic beverages seem as harmless as soft drinks.
Students are told that driving after drinking is risky, but they see partying friends casually climb into cars for a ride home with a drinking driver at the wheel.
Students are urged to find entertainment and recreational opportunities where alcohol is not part of the scene, but such offering are few and far between.
