Know More Before You Pour
Excessive alcohol use negatively impacts our society in a myriad of ways. Alcohol misuse and alcohol use disorder cause major damage at the individual, family and community levels.  Nearly 88,000 people die from alcohol-related causes annually and alcohol misuse costs the U.S. an estimated $259 billion.  Thanks to research funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, we know more about alcohol and its impacts than ever  before. 
The Alliance's Youth Collaborative, PEEPS, entered this design for CADCA's National  2017 "Know More Before You Pour" Social Media Competition and was awarded a Noteworthy Entry. Congrats  PEEPS, for great work!
