D.A. Blodgett Teams With Schools, Police And Parents
To Combat Underage Drinking
With prom and graduation season approaching, Essex District Attorney Jonathan W. Blodgett has teamed up with schools, police and parents in an effort to curb underage drinking.
“These joyful occasions should not be marred by senseless tragedies,” said District Attorney Blodgett. “Alcohol is the leading cause of death among people under 21, and kills more kids than all other illicit drugs combined. These deaths are not just the result of motor vehicle accidents, but of alcohol poisoning, drowning, falls and other incidents. In addition, underage drinkers are more likely to be victims of rape or physical assaults.”
