The Alcohol Misuse Prevention Program works to reduce harmful alcohol use by young adults ages 18 to 25 by:

• Supporting alcohol merchant training that educate employees on:
  • local and state alcohol laws
  • reducing alcohol sales to customers who are intoxicated/drunk
  • preventing sales to youth under 21
• offering the “Think Before You Drink” prevention campaign
• hosting community coalition meetings – open to any Frederick County resident
• conducting alcohol merchant compliance checks to make sure stores are following laws
• improving local policies to reduce the harm of underage and binge drinking
