Podcast Episode
WCLO's Stan Stricker reports on efforts to limit underage drinking at big public events.
A Rock County group is urging organizers of big summer events to restrict alcohol access to underage youth.
Partners in Prevention Director Kate Baldwin says with large crowds it's sometimes easy for youth to get alcohol. Baldwin suggests preventative measures like fences, wristbands, and I-D checks.
Baldwin says without restricting access, underage youth develop the perception alcohol is how to have a good time in Wisconsin.

People are becoming more responsible when it comes to social drinking events. Most of the people we know usually designate a driver. Sounds like the people Rooster & Homebrew know aren't responsible enough to figure it out.

Why sell alcohol at these places? Isn't that increasing risk for anyone who will be driving after the event? Money is the big issue, lets change that. Lets start acting like adults. Drinking is dangerous and should not be promoted with community events anymore than any other illegal drug use. Thank you.
