Responsible Beverage Service

Alcohol is the drug of choice among youth. And when youth drink, they tend to drink heavily. In 2005, underage drinkers consumed 21.1 percent of all alcohol sold in Ohio, totaling $944 million in sales. These sales provided profits of $457 million to the alcohol industry, while underage drinking cost Ohioans $2.7 billion that same year (Miller, TR, Levy, DT, Spicer, RS, & Taylor, DM. 2006, Societal costs of underage drinking Journal of Studies on Alcohol, 67(4) 519-528).
