Why is it important for you to NOT drink when you are under 21? 

Because it's against the law! 

Because alcohol is implicated in more than 40% of all academic problems and 28% of drop outs! 

Because an average of 8 American youths under the age of 21 die every day in alcohol-related crashes!

Tell us why YOU think it's important for you to NOT drink when you are under 21.
