Underage Drinking

When it comes to facts on underage drinking and tips for parents, we think TalkItOutNC.org offers some of the best resources.

We suggest you head there to read about:

• Facts on Underage Drinking
• Alcohol and the Developing Brain
• Starting the Conversation with your Kids

As part of our programs for substance use disorder prevention for families and promoting substance use disorder prevention at home, we want to help you consider ways to securely store alcohol to keep your home safe for your kids and their friends. Some options to consider are:

• A lock box that sits inside your fridge that could hold cans or bottles.
• A lock that goes over a bottle
• Tamper evident stickers that would show you if something has been opened.
