Sheriff Kettlekamp Talks Underage Drinking and Lifelong Effects

As school continues to set back in, one thing stays on the mind of the Christian County Sheriff. Sheriff Bruce Kettlekamp has written twice about educating the youth about substance abuse, especially with underage drinking. Kettlekamp said when people drink alcohol before they're 21, it causes brain damage because the brain isn't yet fully developed, and that's the key reason to making sure they don't drink underage.

Kettlekamp said, no matter what, the kids will be exposed to it, but it's up to the parents to make sure the kids know how dangerous it is for them to drink underage.

More information can be found at christiancountysheriffsoffice.com or by calling the sheriff's office at 824-4961. Sheriff Kettlekamp appeared on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
