You don’t need alcohol to have a good time, fit in, or handle stress.
🧠 Prevention Education:
For teens, alcohol can interfere with brain development, judgment, memory, coordination, and decision-making. Underage drinking can also increase the risk of injuries, school problems, and other risky situations.
💪 The real flex is protecting your future:
• Know the facts.
• Have a plan when someone offers you alcohol.
• Choose friends who respect your boundaries.
• Talk to a trusted adult when you need support.
• Stay focused on your goals.
Your future is worth protecting. Make the choice that keeps you in control.
