Between 2001 to 2007, beer advertisements aired on television programs aimed at the 12 to 20 age range increased by 38 percent. The study was conducted by the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth at Georgetown University in Washington as they are concerned with many issues surrounding it, like the fact that 5,000 underage drinkers die every year.
The legal limit is 21, and the current debate of whether to lower that age to diffuse future binge drinking has become a hot topic.
We at Booze Fuse will be posting a feature on the pros and cons of making the legal age 18. Expect to see it in full video podcast form later this November. :)
