CARTOON E-CARD - What the beer industry really thinks about kids and alcohol.




Download PDF (black/white) Download PDF (color)

While this cartoon might make you chuckle, it's a sobering fact that this year, more than 5,000 underage youth will die from alcohol-related causes -- that’s more than 13 kids every day. Big beer companies pretend not to target youth, while their slick, teen-friendly marketing saturates TV, the Internet, sporting events, magazines -- everywhere. And beer executives use their lobbying muscle to block proven strategies that reduce underage drinking. Why? Because up to 20% of their profits come from underage consumption.

Let's fight back. Sign the Get Serious petition to demand effective alcohol policies from our elected leaders, then tell your friends and colleagues about this page.
