Underage drinking is a serious issue that can have harmful consequences.

It's important
for young adults and children to understand the risks associated with alcohol consumption at a
young age. Engaging in underage drinking can lead to impaired judgment, risky behaviors, and
even health problems. Additionally, underage drinking can negatively impact brain development
and hinder academic performance. It is important for parents, educators, and communities to
work together to educate the youth about the dangers of underage drinking and help promote
healthier alternatives. Some parents may have different perspectives on underage drinking, but
everyone needs to consider the potential risks. Allowing underage drinking can send mixed
messages about responsible behavior and may contribute to unsafe situations. Example, you
are driving under the influence and you hit an innocent person. Now your entire life is at risk. It's
crucial for parents to prioritize their child's health and well-being by having healthy
conversations, setting clear boundaries, and educating them about the risks associated with
alcohol. These topics are very important and beneficial to my film because they all have their
own way of showing the risk factors of underage drinking. I intend on using this information by
showing what driving under the influence can and will result in.

If a person is caught drinking and driving, they can be fined through legal consequences
by law enforcement. This involves being pulled over by the police, who may conduct a
breathalyzer test or other sobriety tests to determine the level of impairment. In Rhode Island
the legal limit of alcohol concentration is .15, If the person's blood alcohol concentration is
above the legal limit, they can face fines, license suspension, and even criminal charges. These
fines serve as a way to deter individuals from engaging in this dangerous behavior and to
promote safer roads for everyone. Drinking and driving can end in tragedy. It's a significant risk
to the driver, passengers, and innocent people on the road. Impaired judgment, decreased
reaction time, and lack of coordination due to alcohol consumption can lead to accidents and
injuries. This is mentally, physically and emotionally exhausting to both the driver and victims
involved in the issue. Discussing this topic is very important because it's an informative way to
remind people of the consequences of drinking and the trouble it can cause.

Parents are not always aware of fake IDs that are used for drinking which raises plenty
of concern. This is an underlying issue due to the fact that fake IDs allow underage teens to
access alcohol, which can have serious effects on them and everyone around them. Parents
play a big role in educating their children about the risks associated with underage drinking and
the legal and health risks that come with it. It's important to note that using a fake ID to purchase
alcohol is illegal. While it's possible that some stores may not always catch fake IDs, it's not
something that should be encouraged or supported Ways to catch minors with fake IDs can be
comparing image with the live image, look for the ghost image, look for holograms, use
challenging questions, etc. Stores have a responsibility to verify the age of customers and
prevent underage drinking.Teens may try to obtain fake IDs through various ways, such as
online sources or connections with others who specialize in creating fraudulent identification
documents. This topic is important because it discusses the lack of communication between
parents and their teens in order to avoid underage drinking. I intend on using this information to
provide safety for all teens who choose to drive under the influence and show how the outcome
can result in life changing experiences.
