A BILL
To require an annual report by the Secretary of Health
and Human Services on alcohol advertising practices,
and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Alcohol Advertising
Accountability Act of 1997’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) In 1995, the Department of Health and
Human Services found that there is a significant un-
derage drinking problem and estimated that there
are 11 million drinkers of alcoholic beverages who
are under the age of 21. Of that number, 2 million
are heavy drinkers of such beverages.
(2) In 1996, the proportion of students having
5 or more drinks in a row during the 2-week period
preceding the Monitoring the Future Survey were 16
percent for 8th graders, 25 percent for 10th grad-
ers, and 30 percent for 12th graders.
(3) The median age at which children begin
drinking alcoholic beverages is just over 13 years.
Fifty-five percent of students in the 8th grade have
tried an alcoholic beverage.
(4) A 1995 survey found that 50 percent of the
teenagers who were asked said that alcohol is a more
serious problem among today’s youth than illicit
drugs.
(5) In 1993, nearly 10 percent (over 110,000)
of the clients admitted to State-funded alcohol treat-
ment programs were under the age of 21.
(6) Alcoholic beverage companies spent $2 bil-
lion to advertise and promote their products in
1995. The budget of the National Institute on Alco-
hol Abuse and Alcoholism for the same year was
$176 million.

(7) According to a study published in the Amer-
ican Journal of Public Health, viewing beer ads on
television may predispose young people to drinking
beer. Children who are more aware of beer advertise-
ments hold more favorable beliefs about drinking
beer and intend to drink beer more frequently as
adults.
(8) Almost half of all adults think that alcohol
industry advertising greatly influences underage
youth to drink alcoholic beverages, another one-third
think industry advertising has some influence.
