California's New "Toolkit" for Parents Provides Underage Drinking Prevention Tips

Alcohol is by far the most used and abused drug among America's teenagers.
But, how much do parents know about the problem?

"Tips for Parents: Underage Drinking In California...What Can You Do?" provides important information for parents, and other adults, about the problems associated with underage drinking. This booklet includes sections on common myths about alcohol, warning signs that your kids may be drinking, how youth obtain alcohol, and some prevention tips parents can use to help combat the problem.

Developed by the California Governor's Prevention Advisory Council's Underage Drinking Prevention Workgroup, "Tips for Parents: Underage Drinking In California...What Can You Do?" can be downloaded at www.safestate.org/underagedrinking.

Or, if you would like a hard copy of "Tips for Parents..." or to inquire about making the booklet state specific, contact Wendy Tully of the California Attorney General's Office at wendy.tully@doj.ca.gov.
