STORING AND MONITORING ALCOHOL AT HOME
Alcohol availability and easy access to alcohol are related to greater consumption of alcohol and alcohol-related problems among adolescents. Monitoring your alcohol and completing an alcohol inventory can help keep track of the alcohol in your home.
Lock your liquor stickers
These stickers were developed to give parents and caregivers an additional resource to discourage underage drinking and prevent easy youth access to alcohol in the home. Securing or locking your alcohol helps keep youth you know safe. Using these stickers will also provide “an out” for youth—if your child is being pressured to get alcohol to share, they will not be able to.
