  • AMERICAN COLLEGE OF EMERGENCY PHYSICIANS AND MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING RELEASE FREE HANDBOOK
    "Parents are the first line of defense against underage drinking, but it can be daunting to know exactly what to say. This booklet helps guide parents through these conversations with their kids," said Dr. Sandra Schneider, American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) president, in an ACEP news release. The handbook is called Power of Parents, It's Your Influence. According to the press release, a recent U.S. government report cited an average of 546 emergency department visits a day involving underage drinkers in 2009. And according to MADD, one in three grade 8 students in the United States drinks alcohol and one in five teens binge drinks.
