Small Talks: How WI Prevents Underage Drinking​
​Why talk to kids about alcohol? Underage drinking is a real issue in Wisconsin and can start as early as age 8. But simple, casual conversations with caring adults can make a big difference in prevention.
​
Underage drinking in Wisconsin
Underage drinking is declining nationwide—but Wisconsin teens aren't keeping up. While national rates dropped 7% from 2019–2021, Wisconsin only saw a 4% drop.
- 49% of Wisconsin teens have tried alcohol
-
1 in 6 tried it by age 13
-
2 out of 3 don’t see it as risky
​
Why start talking when they're 8?
Kids start forming opinions about alcohol as early as age 8. Talking to them early helps counter messages from friends and media. It’s easier than you think—and we’ve got tips to help you start the conversation and handle tough questions.
​​
Understand why kids drink
Underage drinking isn’t a rite of passage—it’s a community-wide issue affecting all kinds of Wisconsin families. Kids may drink due to peer pressure, stress, or harmful marketing. Families aren’t to blame, but they can make a difference.
​
Get help now
If you think your child is already drinking or struggling with substance use, don’t blame them or yourself. Focus on getting your family help instead. The Wisconsin Addiction Recovery Helpline can help. It’s free and available 24 hours a day.
