Responsible alcohol management reduces youth access to alcohol and protects the public, licensees and employees. A 1999 statewide poll indicated that 78 percent of residents feel that bars, clubs, restaurants and beer distributors are not careful enough in preventing teenagers from buying alcohol.

• More teens die from an alcohol overdose or drunk driving crashes than from all other causes combined.
• A high proportion of teen suicides, homicides, assaults, drowning and recreational deaths and injuries involve alcohol.
• There is considerable evidence that those who drink at a younger age are more likely to develop later alcohol addiction and ten times more likely to use illicit drugs.
