Teens and Drinking

It's no secret that teens have been increasingly more exposed to drinking over the past decade or so. Commercials are probably the biggest source of the increased exposure. Beer commercials in particular portray the supposed benefits of alcohol, which include meeting beautiful women on sunny Caribbean beaches. These commercials give teens the wrong ideas about drinking and may eventually set an addiction into motion. No one doubts the fact that drinking is unhealthy, yet many teens still choose to drink, thanks to peer pressure and the sunny Caribbean beaches.
