Many studies have found significant alcohol consumption among youth, even though the purchase and public possession of alcohol by persons under the age of 21 are illegal in every state and the District of Columbia. This report discusses (1) the amount of federal funds earmarked for preventing underage drinking in fiscal year 2000 and (2) funded programs in fiscal year 2000 that included efforts to publicize in the media the problem of underage drinking. An estimated $71 million of fiscal year 2000 appropriated federal funds specifically targeted the prevention of underage drinking. In addition, many federal agencies had program activities that addressed prevention of underage drinking but for which agency officials could not isolate funding specific to alcohol. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-503/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-503.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-503/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-503.pdf GAO-01-503 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-503 Other Written Product GAO-01-503; Underage Drinking: Information on Federal Funds Targeted at Prevention; Alcohol abuse Appropriated funds Youth Title 21 Section 1801 21 U.S.C. 1801 Title 23 Section 402 Title 23 Section 410 23 U.S.C. 402 23 U.S.C. 410 Title 42 Section 300x 42 U.S.C. 300x
