The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence has designated April 2008 as Alcohol Awareness Month. Alcohol Awareness Month began in 1987 in an effort to reach the American public with information about the disease of alcoholism .
This year's theme is “Saving Lives: Prevent and Reduce Underage Drinking.”
Some important facts:
• Alcohol is #1 drug of choice for America’s young people, more than tobacco or illicit drugs.
• Those who begin drinking before age 15 are four times more likely to develop alcoholism than those who begin at age 21.
• Each day, 7,000 kids in the United States under the age of 16 take their first drink.
• And, underage alcohol use costs the nation an estimated $62 billion annually!
NCADD-KC works every day, year round, to help those suffering with the disease of alcoholism or addiction to move into the healthy state of recovery. Won’t you help us?
