(5) Alcohol abuse creates long-term risk devel-
opmentally and is associated with negative physical 
impacts on the brain. 
(6) Research indicates that adults greatly un-
derestimate the extent of alcohol use by youths, its 
negative consequences, and its use by their own chil-
dren. The IOM report concluded that underage 
drinking cannot be successfully addressed by focus-
ing on youth alone. Ultimately, adults are respon-
sible for young people obtaining alcohol by selling, 
providing, or otherwise making it available to them. 
Parents are the most important channel of influence 
on their children’s underage drinking, according to 
the IOM report, which also recommends a national 
adult-oriented media campaign. 
(7) Research shows that public service health 
messages, in combination with community-based ef-
forts, can reduce health-damaging behavior. The De-
partment of Health and Human Services and the Ad 
Council have undertaken a public health campaign 
targeted at parents to combat underage alcohol con-
sumption. The Ad Council estimates that, for a typ-
ical public health campaign, it receives an average of 
$28 million per year in free media through its 
28,000 media outlets nationwide.

(8) A significant percentage of the total alcohol 
consumption in the United States each year is by 
underage youth. The Substance Abuse and Mental 
Health Services Administration reports that the per-
centage is over 11 percent. 
(9) Youth are exposed to a significant amount 
of alcohol advertising through a variety of media. 
Some studies indicate that youth awareness of alco-
hol advertising correlates to their drinking behavior 
and beliefs. 
(10) According to the Center on Alcohol Mar-
keting and Youth, in 2002, the alcoholic beverage in-
dustry spent $990.2 million on product advertising 
on television, and $10 million on television adver-
tising designed to promote the responsible use of al-
cohol. For every one television ad discouraging un-
derage alcohol use, there were 609 product ads. 
(11) Alcohol use occurs in 76 percent of movies 
rated G or PG and 97 percent of movies rated PG–
13. The Federal Trade Commission has rec-
ommended restricting paid alcohol beverage pro-
motional placements to films rated R or NC–17. 
(12) Youth spend 9 to 11 hours per week lis-
tening to music, and 17 percent of all lyrics contain
alcohol references; 30 percent of those songs include 
brand-name mentions. 
(13) Studies show that adolescents watch 20 to 
27 hours of television each week, and 71 percent of 
prime-time television episodes depict alcohol use and 
77 percent contain some reference to alcohol. 
(14) College and university presidents have 
cited alcohol abuse as the number one health prob-
lem on college and university campuses. 
(15) According to the National Institute on Al-
cohol Abuse and Alcoholism, two of five college stu-
dents are binge drinkers; 1,400 college students die 
each year from alcohol-related injuries, a majority of 
which involve motor vehicle crashes; more than 
70,000 students are victims of alcohol-related sexual 
assault; and 500,000 students are injured under the 
influence of alcohol each year. 
(16) According to the Center on Alcohol Mar-
keting and Youth, in 2002, alcohol producers spent 
a total of $58 million to place 6,251 commercials in 
college sports programs, and spent $27.7 million ad-
vertising during the NCAA men’s basketball tour-
