Press release from the Anchorage District Attorney's Office: April 1, 2022 (Anchorage, AK) – April is Alcohol Responsibility Month! The State of Alaska is teaming up with the Ask, Listen, Learn organization in their goal to reduce underage drinking. Now is the perfect time to start and continue conversations with kids about the dangers of alcohol use and the negative effects of underage drinking on their developing brains using Ask, Listen, Learn resources. The free digital underage drinking prevention program for kids and their parents guides adults with ways to start communicating with kids about alcohol and how to continue talking to them as part of a lifetime of conversations. "Encourage your kids to say yes to healthy lifestyles and no to underage drinking and cannabis use," states Attorney General Treg Taylor. "Have these conversations with your kids to help keep underage drinking at record lows and avoid the life altering and deadly consequences that at times accompany underage drinking." Additional materials on the organization's webpage includes games, animated videos, social media involvement, lesson plans and information for anyone willing to engage and join the state in this campaign.
