teen drinking

I feel like teen drinking has became a lot worst lately than it has ever been. teenagers have better and easier access to it now than ever before. im not saying that before it was harder to get alcohol if you were under 21, im saying now there are different resources so it makes it a lot easier. my friend was telling me that there are websites that yo can go on and apply to get a fake id. and they arent that expensive at all. this makes it so much easier for teens to get there hands on alcohol. and im not talking about just drinking. teens today drink so much at gatherings and partys to the point that they black out of just throw up. if a person does that once a week, it could really be bad and cause a lot of different problems in their body. another bad thing about teen drinking is drinking and driving. The people that get the most dui's are people between 18-25, that's basically teen years. when teenagers drink they could become a lot wilder than an adult would cause them to not care about drinking and driving. im pointing out the issue of teen drinking because it is a major societal issue and we need to do something about it. it causes health issues and issues regarding a persons social status and records. some people lose the chance of getting the job that they always wanted just because they get a dui because of a stupid decision that they made one night. I think that if we increase the awareness of teen drinking to people, they would start realizing how big of an issue it is and maybe someone will do something about it. what are some ways to increase awareness of teen drinking? and if it is possible, what are some ways to prevent teen drinking?
