For the underage drinker: You may think, "none of these things have happened to me and this information is so uncool." Perhaps you are not a statistic ... yet. But a time may come when the "not yets" come to be a reality in your life. Unfortunately, this has been true for plenty of people. Please consider all of the possibilities before you pick up that drink. Your life or the life of someone know may depend upon it.
For all Marylanders: The costs associated with underage drinking in Maryland in this 2010 report totaled $1.3 billion dollars, including medical costs, work lost costs, and pain and suffering costs. It's easy to turn a blind eye to these facts when you mistakenly think it's not directly impacting you. But the fact is, that you are affected by the underage drinking problem - one way or another.
