Addiction can begin at home, and a group is working to raise awareness about the risks of teen alcohol misuse. Alcohol is the most commonly misused drug among teens, according to an organization. The consequences can be severe, with many young people dying from excessive drinking each year.

A program director notes that alcohol is easily accessible and often not seen as a problem. This can lead to serious issues, including a higher risk of alcoholism for those who start drinking at a young age. Further information on this issue is available from the source, including details on the work of Serving Children and Adults in Need.
