*Alcohol is the number one drug of choice for America's young people and is more likely to kill young people than all illegal drugs combined.
*Each day, 7,000 kids in the United States under the age of 16 take their first drink.
*Those who begin drinking before the age of 15 are four times more likely to develop alcoholism than those who begin at age 21.
*More than 1,700 college students in the United States are killed each year - about 465 a day - as a result of alcohol -related injuries.
