Why:
To honor young activist filmmakers from across the country for producing
videos that counter exploitative alcohol ads on TV sports events
Because:
The more alcohol ads kids see, the more likely they are to drink, drink to excess and drink more often
Estimates indicate as many as 30 million underage youth view more ads for beer than for any other product during the Big Game
It is well established that teens that begin drinking before age 15 are four times more likely to develop alcohol dependence than those who wait until they are 21
10.7 million underage youth drink, 7.2 million binge drink and alcohol related problems from this drinking cost the country $60 billion dollars annually
