The Article in Brief
Each year, more than 20,000 people between the ages of 15 and 34 years die from alcohol-related causes. High-risk drinking among 18- to 30-year-olds is reduced when they receive brief counseling about alcohol use from their primary care doctor. Brief alcohol counseling also leads to a decrease in the number of motor vehicle crashes, arrests for substance or liquor violations, and emergency room visits.
