The Alabama Beverage Control Board has a message for local teenagers and their parents: Underage drinking is illegal and law enforcement is cracking down. Eddie Lard, coordinator of the Under Age, Under Arrest Program, spoke to members of the Children’s Policy Council Coalition on Tuesday.
Lard said the program started four years ago, after the ABC Board recognized there was a problem with underage drinking.
Lard said it was important for the ABC Board to have its own program designed to combat underage drinking.
