KS Leadership to Keep Children Alcohol Free Releases White Paper on Underage Drinking in Kansas

Underage drinking is a significant issue that affects every Kansas community and it is a huge drain on our state budget.  The Kansas Leadership to Keep Children Alcohol Free Committee has developed a white paper to educate communities and state leaders about how underage drinking affects Kansans. 


The white paper outlines the effects of underage drinking; youth alcohol use rates in Kansas; the economic impact of underage drinking; current Kansas policies to reduce youth access; and suggested policy changes and effective strategies to address this issue.

See the KS Leadership to Keep Children Alcohol Free section of our Web site.

“Not In Our House”: A Campaign to Reduce Alcohol Access by Kansas Youth in Homes and Communities
--Information on social hosting and underage drinking


Underage drinking is a problem in every Kansas community. While it is illegal for someone under the age of 21 to drink alcohol, it is often provided and/or served by parents or other adults in private homes or on private property. Kansas Leadership to Keep Children Alcohol Free has partnered with Interational Institute for Alcohol Awareness, Scholastic and Century Council to implement this campaign.

Visit our Kansas Leadership to Keep Children Alcohol Free page to learn more.

PLEASE NOTE:  In order to verify our records, please let us know what address you were having the paper version mailed to, so that we can remove it from our newsletter mailing list.
