Combatting the risks of underage drinking through education

Alcohol is the most widely used substance among America’s teens and young adults. Most teens try alcohol without fully understanding the negative developmental impacts, health risks, and legal implications.

Funding science-based education for teens

 

Established in 2016 by Southern Glazer’s, the Youth Alcohol Awareness and Education Foundation, Inc. funds programs that support underage drinking prevention. 
 
With support from the Foundation, the AlcoholEdu for High School program developed by leading technology company EverFi is available at no cost for public and private high schools in South Florida, Dallas, Texas, and Metro New York. 
 
AlcoholEdu for High School is a 90-minute, interactive course that engages students with science-based alcohol education and interactive exercises, providing an individualized experience that changes perceptions, motivates behavior change, and supports healthier decisions regarding alcohol.
