“What the NIAAA task force called a culture of drinking leads many students to harm themselves or others and clearly is antithetical to academic success. The task force is right that we will need a concerted and coordinated effort if we are to change this culture…sadly and tragically, the serious problem of alcohol abuse and misuse on college campuses persists with students often coming to our campuses with histories of excessive drinking.”
(Susan Resneck Pierce, former President U of Puget Sound).”

Prenatal or early postnatal alcohol exposure increases alcohol preference during infancy and adolescence.
Under separation stress, adolescent nonhuman primates double their rates of alcohol consumption--related to changes in corticotrophin and cortisol levels or serotonin.
Adolescent rats show an attenuated corticosterone response to ethanol, with gender differences.

Binge-like episodes produce long-lasting changes in memory, and damage to frontal-anterior cortical regions.
Prolonged ethanol exposure enhances withdrawal-related behavior and produces long-lasting neurophysiological changes in cortex and hippocampus.

•Develop on average before age 9 and sometimes before age 5.
•Can be found in children before drinking begins.
•Shift from primarily negative at about age 9 to primarily positive by age 13.

Cognitive Development and Adolescent Decision-Making:• Immaturity of cognitive processing leads to risky decisions.
• Or… reason-based decision-making overridden in social-emotional contexts.
• Or… adolescent decision-making is configured for adolescent transitions—without intervention (scaffolding), there will be casualties.

Parents, Peers, and Community Influences:
•Warm, loving parents are protective; child-parent conflict increases risk (not well supported).
•Involvement with problem peers increases risk (better supported).
•Supportive communities may be protective (e.g., availability of after school programs).

Youth are routinely exposed to appealing alcohol advertising (television, radio, magazines).
Cross-sectional studies have found small but positive correlations between exposure to and awareness of alcohol advertising and drinking beliefs and behaviors among youth.

But, wide variability in the extent of the impact — particularly for underage.

Minimum legal drinking age and zero tolerance laws have reduced death and injuries due to alcohol-impaired driving. But:
*enforcement is inconsistent.
*youth have been found to be unaware of zero tolerance
laws.
*enforcement can have unintended adverse impact.

Intervening Is Complicated
Because adolescence is complicated.
Because multiple systems are involved in complex behaviors.
Because what resonates with kids changes frequently and is different for different kids.
Because we want enduring effects.
