This "For Kid's Sake" documentary looks at our number one drug problem among kids -- alocohol. It examines school problems and run-ins with the law as well as the long-term physical and psychological disorders caused by alcohol consumption and demonstrates the enormous influence of peer pressure and the seductive advertisements in the mass media. Visiting alcoholism treatment centers, it shows the devastating damage done by alcohol and the wrenching process of rehabilitation; explains why alcohol presents increased health and safety risks for children and adolescents; and clarifies why alcohol is so easily abused by youngsters, and what can be done about it.
