Do kids who are in sports stay away from alcohol more than kids who are not out for sports?

We are looking at an ad campaign that talks about the number of training days are lost by drinking alcohol.  Do you think that is a concern of the atheletes?

Please click on comment and add your questions here for the open forum September 30th - the youth (hopefully) will be able to respond to our questions ....

Where do most kids get their alcohol?

Can you describe where and how most kids get alcohol?

Is it easy to get?

Do kids ever fail at finding alcohol if they want to drink?
