PARENTS
Know the numbers:
Last year, 5  five South Dakota teenagers died in underage drinking and driving crashes.
          In the past 30 days, nearly
         1/2 of all South Dakota teens had at least one drink of alcohol.
    1/3 of the state's teens were involved in binge drinking during that time, and 1/4 of South Dakota's teens rode in a car with someone who had been drinking.
Over the past year, we've made significant progress in lowering the number of teens involved in fatal drinking and driving crashes.
Over the past 3 years the number has gone
down nearly 70%!
