Welcome to the Stop Alcohol Under 21 Web site,
a Web site dedicated to helping parents and other Georgians reduce underage drinking of alcohol.
This site is made possible by Georgia Governor's Office for Children and Families and the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention under a grant to the Council on Alcohol and Drugs. See About Us.
The Web site responds to 4 major needs related to underage drinking:
A. To stop alcohol use among underage youth.
B. To increase youth and adults' perception about just how much harm alcohol can do and just how risky drinking alcohol is for underage youth.
C. To reduce how much alcohol adults (possibly including some parents of one's own children's friends) provide to underage youth.
D. To prevent retailers (such as convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants) from selling alcohol to underage youth.
See below for ways parents, other adults and young people can respond to the four needs:
- Download and show Worst Drug of All video.
- Get local radio stations to play Public Service Announcements (click on PSAs tab)
