WASHINGTON, DC—In recognition of April as Alcohol Awareness Month, The Century Counsil announced it’s continued campaign efforts acknowledging benefits of living a healthy lifestyle and the consequences of binge drinking and underage drinking. The Century Council, a national not-for-profit funded by distillers dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking, announces new components to their Ask Listen Learn: Kids and Alcohol Don’t Mix program including new Ambassadors, an in-school physical education competition and distribution of educational materials through Scholastic. What’s more, Shaquille O’Neal will visit the University of Alabama to address college binge drinking.

Today’s announcement provides additional resources to help parents and other key influencers of young people continue the critical conversation about the dangers of underage drinking using formats that resonate with kids – positive role models and compelling media.
