Teen Binge Drinking

Last Wednesday, the Coalition for a Drug Free Nevada County hosted a town hall meeting intended to inform parents of the dangers of teen binge drinking. Unfortunately, few parents attended the meeting.
"The incidence of young men getting into a fight due to intoxication is huge, Callahan said. It's equally common for young girls to find themselves in physically vulnerable positions at parties because they're drunk, she added."
Lack of parental involvement and lack of understanding about the dangers of teen drinking lead to increased drinking incidents and also can lead to trouble with the law for both parents and teenagers. Read more at TheUnion.com.
