Consumption of alcohol by anyone under the age of 21 known as underage drinking remains a considerable public health challenge. Adolescent alcohol use is not an acceptable rite of passage, but a serious threat to adolescent development and health. Underage drivers and drinkers can cause great harm as they lack driving experience and the ability to handle alcohol with their penchant for risk taking behaviors. Parents have a superior accountability to ensure that children are cared properly and not indulged in alcohol drinking, if not curbed at initial stages. This issue needs to be addressed with great urgency to curb juvenile drinking in future.
