	Nat' Academies Press, Reducing Underage Drinking: A Collective Responsibility (2004)
		If underage drinkers invest in less human capital than their nondrinking peers, later in life they may be less productive workers who earn less and suffer a lower standard of living.
		Reducing Underage Drinking: A Collective Responsibility Although these losses are mainly borne by the underage drinkers themselves, the rest of society shares some of the losses to the extent that over their lifetimes, less productive workers receive more antipoverty transfer payments, pay less in taxes, and generate less economic surplus.
		This evidence that underage drinking increased the risks of adult drinking problems means that some of the earnings losses experienced by adult problem drinkers actually can be traced back to their underage drinking.
