Abstract

Alcohol consumption is harmful to minors. One of the most widely accepted measures for the prevention of harm associated with alcohol consumption for young people is to establish a minimum legal drinking age. This document presents the evidence available on this policy, offers a condensed analysis of its characteristics in the United States of America, describes current consumption patterns of Chilean youth, and proposes concrete solutions to be implemented.
