Alcohol Awareness Month

Alcohol Awareness Month, sponsored by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. (NCADD) since 1987, encourages local communities to focus on alcoholism and alcohol-related issues. Alcohol Awareness Month began as a way of reaching the American public with information about the disease of alcoholism – that it is a treatable disease, not a moral weakness, and that alcoholics can and do recover.

A primary focus of the past ten years has been Underage Drinking and devastating effect it can have on our youth. The NCADD extends an open invitation to all Americans to engage in alcohol-free activities and to discuss the how alcohol may be affecting individuals, families, and businesses.
