Over 80% of young people say their parents are the leading influence on whether they decide to drink or not. Don’t assume they know how you feel – Send a clear and strong message that you disapprove of underage drinking. #SCOutOfTheirHands

Have the conversation about preventing underage drinking with your high school senior. The first six weeks of a student’s first year in college are a vulnerable time for risky underage college drinking. #SCOutOfTheirHands

Young people are exposed to over 40,000 alcohol ads per year on Instagram and Facebook alone. That’s an issue, because alcohol advertising has been linked to young people starting to drink at earlier ages and to binge drinking. #SCOutOfTheirHand
