UMADD

College isn’t about getting a degree in drinking; it’s about building a better future for yourself. UMADD is a good start. An official campus organization, a UMADD chapter works to address the underage drinking, high-risk and binge drinking and impaired driving on your college campus. As a UMADD member, you’ll work with campus and local authorities for tighter enforcement of underage-drinking and impaired-driving laws and to educate students, faculty and administrators about alcohol-related problems. You’ll also be creating effective prevention strategies. If there isn’t a UMADD chapter on your campus, it’s easy to start one. You and your future are worth it.

Social Host

Thinking about hosting a party where youth under 21 have access to alcohol? Think again. Social host liability refers to laws that hold individuals responsible for underage drinking events on property they own, lease or otherwise control. Unlike laws that prohibit furnishing alcohol to youth under 21, social host laws focus on preventing underage drinking on private property without regard to who furnishes the alcohol. Learn More
