Underage drinking plays a role in risky sexual activity. People do things when they are under the influence of alcohol-even a small amount-that they would not do when they are sober, including having sex even when they didn't want to and had not planned to do so. This behavior can increase the chance of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS.
Excessive alcohol use has immediate effects that increase the risk of many harmful health conditions. These immediate effects are most often the result of binge drinking and include the following: Miscarriage and stillbirth among pregnant women, and a combination of physical and mental birth defects among children that last throughout life.
A study that was conducted by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) reported that almost 10% of emergency room visits each year in the United States are linked to alcohol use.
In a survey of seventh through twelfth grade teachers, 76% believed that underage student drinking was a serious or somewhat serious problem.
