This is the report of the Committee on Developing a Strategy to Reduce and Prevent Underage Drinking, formed by the National Research Council at the request of the U.S. Congress in 2002. The committee offers a number of recommendations on addressing underage drinking in the United States, offering advice on media campaigns, financial partnership with the alcohol industry, advertising and entertainment media codes of conduct, legal efforts to limit access to alcohol, youth and community interventions, alcohol excise taxes, and further research.

Zailckas doesn't have the "genetically based reaction to alcohol that addiction counselors call 'a disease.'" But throughout her adolescence and early adulthood, she abused alcohol heavily: "I drank for the explicit purpose of getting drunk, getting brave, or medicating my moods." Her first sips of hard liquor, before she started high school, hit her with the force of a crush-- "as hopeful and as heartbreaking as kissing a boy." By the time she entered Syracuse University, she had already been hospitalized for alcohol poisoning, and her binge drinking through college, wholly supported by the Greek system, contributed to heartbreaking, empty sexual encounters and difficulty relating to anyone without "the third wheel" of alcohol. Zailckas muses about the societal factors that contribute to the astonishing rise in women's drinking. Most unnerving, though, are her honest, detailed accounts of her own profound abuse, which was accepted, encouraged, and chillingly commonplace; thousands of young women share her story.
