Question

although the legal drinking age in the united states is 21, one study shows that most adolescents between the ages of 12 to 14 who drink alcohol have easy access to it. based on this study, what change would most effectively make alcohol less accessible to teens in this age group?

a. raising the prices for all forms of it
b. better enforcing laws about its illegal sale to minors
c. increasing security in liquor stores
d. having the adults in their lives lock up their alcohol

Answer 1

b. better enforcing laws about its illegal sale to minors

This option would directly target the source of access to alcohol for adolescents in this age group, making it harder for them to obtain it. By increasing enforcement of laws that prohibit the sale of alcohol to minors, it would limit their access and potentially reduce the prevalence of underage drinking.
