Article
The author of the article is Sarah Allen Benton, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a recovering alcoholic herself. It seems that the goal of the author is to simply portray facts and questions of the matter. The information provided are risk factors that may increase the chances of alcoholism with statistics of the Surgeon General of 2007. Despite the fact that the author is a recovering alcoholic herself, there does not seem to be emotional language in the article.

Website
The website is a component of the SAMHSA Health Information Network (substance abuse & mental health services administration) an official government organization. The information provided is biased against teenage drinking, with most of the information trying to deter one away from alcohol. A date is not specifically stated when the page was written but the newest source is from 2005 making this page 5 years of age at the most which is a viable information for today. More information should be tied to the section of why underaged people shouldn't drink however to be more comprehensive however.
