(RALEIGH) -- Mothers Against Drunk Driving is educating North Carolina teens on the dangers of underage drinking. A new campaign called "The 4-1-1 on Teen Drinking" aims to help teenagers resist peer pressure. National MADD president Jan Withers says the dangers extend beyond drunk driving.

“There were an estimated 60 homicides and almost 2700 non-fatal violent crimes like rape and robbery and assault attributed to underage drinking.”

Withers says underage drinking kills 6-thousand people each year.
