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
