Teen drinking is underage drinking, which is when people who are below the legal drinking age consume Alcoholic Beverages. Teens who drink do not perform well in school and they tend to have negative relationships with their family members. Drunk driving is dangerous and can lead to serious injuries, even death - not just for the driver, but for passengers in the car, as well as people into whom the driver might crash. 40% of fatal alcohol-induced car accidents involve teens. If someone is under the influence, he or she is incapable of proper judgment and may get involved in other risky behavior. Teens who drink often turn to drugs, which can also be a result of impaired judgment. Teen alcohol use causes health problems, including liver damage, malnutrition, heart problems, and stomach ulcers. The most serious effect of underage drinking is alcohol dependence. You are four times as likely to become an alcoholic if you start drinking at 15 than if you wait until age 21.

What can help teens from drinking and driving?
You can not have kids. That solves the problem. Ok i will be serious now. If you want your teen to stop you need to sit down with them and have the talk with them. Also if your teen does this and gets caught, chances are that they have there license revoked. Or you could ground your teen and take there keys. Unless they paid for the car then just tell them to stop.
