Connecticut Culture and Wealth Deals with Underage Alcohol Abuse

Connecticut has a rich history as the 5th state to enter the Union and one of the most affluent throughout its lifespan. The state is noted for the beautiful fall colors and its proximity to Boston and New York – all of the culture without the city crime and problems. While Connecticut does offer beautiful homes and a comfortable way of life, the state is also home to above average drinking rates for minors. In 2009, Connecticut ranked number 22 out of all of the states in percentage of underage drinking. According to the CDC, nearly a quarter of all 12-20 year olds admitted to binge drinking in a 30 day span.

While alcohol abuse in general can have a serious impact on society as a whole, increasing driving fatalities, crime rates, and domestic issues. For young people, alcohol abuse can be even more damaging – the brain is still forming before the age of 21 and regular use of substances can forever alter the way a brain functions. People who start drinking regularly before adulthood are also far more likely to develop life-long alcohol addictions.
