April is Alcohol Awareness Month

Alcohol Awareness Month began in 1987 and a primary focus has been on underage drinking and the devastating effects it can have on youth. An integral part of Alcohol Awareness Month has been Alcohol-Free Weekend, which takes place on the first weekend of April (April 7-9).

Alcohol-Free Weekend is designed to raise public awareness about the use of alcohol and how it may be affecting individuals, families, and businesses. National Alcohol Screening Day is April 6. For more information visit www.ncadd.org/programs/awareness/aamk2006.html and www.AlcoholScreening.org.
