We are proud to help lay a strong drug free foundation for our youth .
The Century Council has been a leader in the fight against underage drinking for nearly two decades . While rates have declined , alcohol consumption among youth under the legal drinking age remains at an alarming level .
Nearly 10 million youths , ages 12 to 20 , in this country report they have consumed alcohol in the past 30 days . The rate of current alcohol consumption increases with increasing age according to the 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health from 2 % at age 12 to 21 % at age 16 , and 55 % at age 20 .
The Century Council works with all segments of the community , including parents , youth , law enforcement , judges , educators , public officials , government agencies , and advocacy groups to
provide valuable information and develop comprehensive programs to delay first consumption of alcohol , prevent underage drinking , and reduce the access to alcohol by minors .
The Century Council has created a number of research-based educational programs that address underage drinking at the elementary / middle-school , high school , and college levels , and track statistics and the latest available underage drinking research on this critical issue .
