How many teens have died from liquor?

It is difficult to provide an accurate answer to the number of teens who have died from liquor, as data on alcohol-related deaths among teenagers is not readily available. However, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), excessive alcohol use is the third leading cause of preventable death in the United States, and it is estimated that over 100,000 people die each year from alcohol-related causes, including both adults and teenagers. Additionally, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that in 2020, there were 2,830 traffic fatalities involving drivers aged 15-20 who had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher. It is important to note that these numbers may not fully capture the total number of teens who have died from liquor, as some deaths may go unreported or may be attributed to other causes. Efforts to prevent underage drinking and alcohol-related harms among teens are crucial to addressing this issue.
